Description
Silent Beats is the third book in Kim Samuels’ delightful Rhythm Road series. This engaging instalment continues the musical journey of the Family of Notes. This time, children explore the world of musical rests—the silent yet powerful moments in music that give rhythm its shape and feeling.
Through a warm and imaginative story, Silent Beats helps young readers aged 5 to 10 understand the relationship between the six main rests and the colourful note characters first introduced in Rhythm Road. Each rest is brought to life with playful language, clear illustrations, and a touch of musical magic.
More than just a storybook, Silent Beats blends fun with learning. It supports foundational rhythm theory while encouraging children to see silence as an essential part of music. Whether you’re reading at home, in a classroom, or in a community group, this book adapts easily to your setting.
Even better, no musical background is required! Parents, carers, and teachers can simply scan the QR codes included in the book. These lead to audio recordings that guide you through fun clapping and singing activities—perfect for learning together.
With Silent Beats, music becomes a joyful, shared adventure where every sound (and silence!) has a place.
