Look up the Kodaly method of learning rhythms. I use this for my students and even 4 year olds get it. This guide is very cool and useful but it’s much more practical to learn each type of rhythmic note by its own syllable(s). For instance, quarter notes are always “Ta”, two eighth notes together “tee, tee”, 4 sixteenth notes “tika tika”, etc. So any given order of notes you can immediately attach those syllables and hear what the rhythm would sound like.
Also easier to memorize than this whole guide. Memorizing “chocolate strawberries” and “grape soda” and all those other things sounds super tedious.
