The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of color-coding notation on kindergarteners ability to read and perform rhythms. Within this study 67 kindergarten students were either in a control group or an experimental group and were instructed for 10 minutes once a week for 5 weeks in rhythm reading. The participants were given a pretest, treatment and posttest. On the pretest only 19 participants scored at least a 1 and when it came to the posttest 60 students scored at least a 1. Overall this study found that students who were instructed using color-coding notation could perform more rhythms correct on the assessment than students who were instructed in black notation. Participants also preferred the color-coded notation over the black notation.
