Why a course about rhythm?
In my 30 years of experience as a music teacher I have found that more people struggle with reading rhythm than reading pitch.
Many courses only teach the letter names of the notes. Knowing the letter names of the notes is useless information if you don’t know how long each note should be played for.
Isolating rhythm from pitch lets you focus your attention on mastering rhythm which is the most fundamental element of music. Once you have a solid foundation in rhythm, learning the other elements of music will be much easier and quicker.
Music is a type of language and so in this course we will learn the same way a child learns a language.
First, they learn to speak by hearing others and imitating
Then they learn to read the language
And finally, they learn to write the language
Each section includes:
Learning a new concept.
Practicing the new concept through, imitating, reading, and writing.
An assessment in Smart Music where you will get instant feed back on your performance of various rhythms.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone wanting to learn how to read, play, and notate rhythms
- Beginning musicians
- Musicians who never “really” learned how to read rhythm
- Musicians who want to brush up on their rhythm reading
