  15. The Rhythm Ninja –

    This is a great product. I did not realize however that it was included in the bundle of K-5- which I also purchased- So I bought it twice…

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thanks for the feedback! I’m sorry that you accidentally purchased the same product twice. Please e-mail me at: theylbrickroad@gmail.com with the subject heading “repeat purchase”, and I’d be happy to try and make it up for you 🙂

  16. Heather T. –

    Great resource. This has been very helpful. I would have appreciated a little more organization in the bundle itself and maybe a way of labeling how things go together. Some of it was hard to put together and order.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Hi Heather–Thank you for the meaningful feedback. I recently updated this product to include additional organizational features, which you will be able to find under “my purchases”. You can download the updates and revisions by clicking on “download now”. In the newest version, the printables are hyperlinked to their corresponding page. Also, the table of contents are hyperlinked as well. So you can click on the exact section you want to print, and it will go there directly. I hope this helps! If you have any more questions or concerns, please feel free to e-mail me at theylbrickroad@gmail.com. I’d be happy to help 🙂

    Thanks!

      You’re welcome 🙂

  19. Kristine L. –

    Overall I think this is a great resource. However, my students and I are confused by the labeling of duple and triple meter. The worksheets seem to identify compound meter (6/8) as “triple,” when in fact it is duple compound. Triple meter would be 3/4 or 9/8 – three beats per measure, not three subdivisions per beat. Maybe we are misunderstanding the worksheet?

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thanks for the feedback and thank you for mentioning that. No, you’re not misunderstanding. I made a mistake on those pages. I’m currently working on revisions to the entire notebook, which I hope to have posted this week. Once it’s finished, I’ll be sending a note to followers about the revisions. It will also show up under “my purchases”. Thanks again for the feedback, and please don’t hesitate to e-mail me if you have any more questions: theylbrickroad@gmail.com.

      **Product updated on November 16, 2015. Please check under “my purchases” for the revised file 🙂
