16th Note Rhythm Worksheet

The following sheet outlines the counting of 16th note rhythms.

16th notes are half the length of an 8th note and 1/4 the length of a quarter note.

16th notes have a double line connecting them jq OR two flags coming off the stem. x. You count 16th notes by saying "1" "ee" "and" "uh".

q = iq = jjjq 1 = 1 + = 1 e + a

The goal is to be able to write the counts and clap/say the rhythms.
