A music teaching device for coordinating oscillatory downward and upward foot movement with basic musical time divisions includes a platform providing a primary foot impact surface. The platform has a detachable subassembly including a pair of upstanding posts and a removable heel block. The posts support an upper and a lower horizontal resistance bar in adjustably spaced relationship above the platform. The lower resistance bar is spring urged toward the platform and provides a secondary impact surface for use in teaching duple meter. An upper resistance bar functions as a tertiary impact surface when used together with the lower resistance bar for demonstrating triple meter.

A music teaching aid for developing a student\s understanding of the pulsations of time characteristic of music comprising platform means for receiving a downwardly directed impact force during rhythmic movement of the student\s foot, indicating means supported above said platform means, said indicating means providing a secondary impact surface during an upwardly directed movement of the student\s foot thereby delimiting the amplitude of foot displacement whereby the student can coordinate said oscillatory movement with basic musical time divisions.
