Free PDF + editable BoboCreate template
Free Composing Case: Rhythm First
Every melody starts with a rhythm: check bars of 4/4, then write and clap four bars of your own.
Both downloads are the free edition. The .bobo file opens in BoboCreate Desktop.
The editable file imports in BoboCreate Free 0.3.19 or later. It uses one of Free's three design places, and its own artwork does not count toward your three uploaded images. Older versions of the app need BoboCreate activated to import it, so update BoboCreate first.
The first case of Write Your First Four-Bar Melody, complete and free.
The rhythm the learner writes is theirs: the rule, not a key, checks it.
