One morning in second grade music class, I invited my students to join me in a “beat dance”: a follow-the-leader game with rhythm sticks and a song with a loud dance beat. As the song faded out, a student shouted, “It rhymed!” In the absence of any lyrics or vocal line, this student had found rhymes in the simple rhythmic alignment of the music. This collection of rhymes presents similar moments of joyful satisfaction through the interaction, coincidence, and collision of rhythm and silence in different musical environments.
