Promenade of the Dragon: A Fruit Rhythm Play-Along

This is an originally composed song to accompany these rhythm reading exercises. The exercises start easy, with fruit names to help remember the rhythms, and then get progressively more challenging until there are just the rhythms animating without any text to help.
Along with playing the rhythms, this could also be a great song to practice rhythmic dictation. Instead of watching the video, just listen and try to write down the rhythms that you hear.

Thank you! I will definitely show it to my students. We only have half the duration of "To" and sixteen "Ti-li".

I'm a huge fan of your activities and was looking for fresh materials for Lunar New Year. However, what's the connection between the dragon and the activity? Thank you!

[@VisualMusicalMinds]

Thanks for the comment- and to be honest- there isn't actually a connection at all with the dragon. I had made the video originally as Rhythm Song #1- but that title screen looked so boring, and the timbres I used did have sort of a festive Chinese feel to them- but that too wasn't intentional. So I thought for a few days how I could make the video feel a bit less generic, and I thought of the Promenade of the Dragon. I'm going to teach Chinese New Year next week to my kids, and it will be the year of the dragon, so I went with it. And along the way, hopefully I can teach the word 'Promenade' as well and enrich it as much as I can. So yeah, no real connections to dragons or Chinese New Year, but hopefully it will be fun anyway.
But also, on a musical curricular note, I do tend to get more more into my 16th notes in January and February, so hopefully giving it a bit of a Chinese New Year feel will help it feel relevant next year as well!

Thank you for sharing. What a cute practice work out! The only thing I am afraid for the confusion it may cause is the orange - indicated as a minim . However 'orange' is 2 syllabic when pronounced which may confuse that of have 1 sound over 2 beats for a minim. Would have preferred if a single syllabic word like pear or grapes be used - for the longer 2 beat duration hold.

I was thinking about that issue with the orange too. It's a strange work that can sort of have one syllable or two depending on how you think about it- where as blueberry is a clear 3 syllables- so because of that vagueness, I chose it- but now I don't know what to do for whole notes or doted half- so I might need to make those more simple single syllable words.
