Keep Your Lamps Trimmed And Burning (Time Signature 2-4 Missing Bar Lines)

• This worksheet is designed to promote students' understanding of 2/4 metre, anacrusis and ties.
• The first question requires students to explain the time signature. (Answer: There are 2 crotchet beats [quarter note beats] in each bar.)
• The second question instructs students to fill in the missing bar lines.
• The third question gives students the opportunity to create a rhythm in 2/4 metre.

Students can write their rhythm on the staff lines provided, or they might like to write a melody with their rhythm!
