The author has developed various sorts of novel teaching materials for elementary-level piano
learners, and those materials have been applied to a musical education in the “Lemie Music
Academy”. In this article, one of those materials for a rhythm education, which are called “Rhythm
Cards”, is introduced. In addition, the article also deals with an example of its application to the
practical piano education. The author demonstrated that by applying the “Rhythm Cards” the
learners could effectively understand rhythm patterns in the conventional books for piano practice.
The author proposes that the educational method with those teaching materials should be called
as the “Lemie Method”.
