Comprehensive Rhythm Studies: Sequential Exercises to Develop Rhythmic Literacy: Teacher Manual

What if developing great rhythm was the easiest skill for your students to master?

For music educators, placing a new piece of music on students’ stands can be a moment of wonder or of intense frustration.

And while any number of issues can arise, most can be traced back to one in particular: rhythm.

In fact, a core frustration of most young music students — and teachers — is developing a steady, confident sense of rhythm.

The issue is that teachers tend to rely on the same tools and tricks — tools that don’t necessarily work — to help deliver quick fixes.These types of exercises and quick fixes are bandaids, not getting to the root of the issue.

Comprehensive Rhythm Studies is a resource to take students of all ages through the process of developing independent, strong rhythmic abilities. This resource provides an anthology of carefully sequenced rhythms and a modified Takadimi counting system that allows for consistent counting in all meters.

With 190 pages of musical examples — and a supplementary student edition [sold separately] — this book is designed to enable your students’ rhythmic abilities.

This is the Teacher Manual. Student Edition sold separately!
