This purchase is a set of 2! Rhythm sticks are a great way to dive into the art of 'music therapy'. You can truly use rhythm sticks to tap along to the beat of any song! You can even give yourself little challenges, such as; only tapping the sticks to the beat of the chorus, or tapping the sticks whn a certain word is said. On the flip side, if purchased for kids - they can make up their own tune and not follow any 'rules'!
