Silent Beats
Understanding rests in music theory for young children
Silent Beats is the third book in Kim Samuels’ Rhythm Road series on music theory for young children. In this book, Kim introduces musical rests in another endearing story about the Family of Notes, which shows the relationship between the 6 musical rests and the colourful note characters that we met in Rhythm Road.
Silent Beats extends the foundational knowledge of music theory and presents silence as an element of music. All at once, it is a reading book, a theory book and an activity book written for young learners aged 5-10 years.

Children will enjoy following along with the rhythmic beat while reading and clapping, as these books aim to establish a solid understanding of rhythm theory. Parents, carers and teachers who may not have formal music training can still effectively use the books using the QR code links provided to assist with the activity pages.
