Is the rhythm notation accurate?

Yes — stemmed notes, beams, and rest symbols follow correct musical notation throughout, since this is a music pack.

What's the composition sheet with empty boxes for?

A blank rhythm-writing frame — students fill the empty boxes with their own note choices to build an original four-beat pattern.

What are note-value pies?

Circular diagrams showing how a whole note divides into halves, quarters, and eighths — a visual alternative to a written rhythm strip.

How many beats are in each rhythm strip?

Four-beat bars, the standard unit for early rhythm reading and clapping practice.

Reading 3Note value pies

Ta, ti-ti, rest: the rhythm strip is how elementary music teaches beat — a four-beat bar of stemmed notes on a card, clapped in a circle. Notation is exact throughout; nothing else is written. These nine cover one-bar strips, a rhythm-composition sheet with empty boxes, and a set of note-value pies. Type a different rhythm focus and the set redraws.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
