Music Theory Rhythms 4.0

This tool is designed for teachers, students, and professional musicians seeking to enhance their rhythmic and polyrhythmic capabilities. It aims to improve hand independence through practicing two-line rhythmic patterns, progressing from simple to highly complex sequences. Sight-reading rhythmic patterns becomes less challenging, as the application provides a comprehensive 'Grade Book' feature that records all results, which can be printed or shared easily.

Customization options are extensive:

• Time signatures including 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, and 5/4
• Number of measures ranging from 4 to 16
• One or two lines of rhythm patterns
• Up to three pitches per line
• Options to include or exclude rests
• A variety of note and rest values such as Whole, Half, Quarter, Eighth, Sixteenth, Dotted Half, Dotted Quarter, Dotted Eighth, Triplet Half, Triplet Quarter, and Triplet Eighths
• The ability to omit grading of note durations for percussion-focused practice or accuracy assessment
• Auditory playback before and after attempting each pattern
• Tempo settings ranging from 30 to 150 bpm; note that lower tempos require greater accuracy with attacks and sustains, while higher tempos increase the challenge with faster progression rates
• An optional scrolling line indicating the current position within the pattern for ease of follow-along

The Grade Book feature offers filtering by name and includes comprehensive information such as student or user name, date and time of testing sessions, relevant practice settings (note values used, presence of rests, pattern length), and achievement metrics including percentage score and letter grade.
