Basic Rhythm Studies - Book by Cathy Williams Hargrave.  Item # CH002 - $7.95
 
 

Written by a skilled Suzuki teacher, here is a useful book for strengthening rhythm reading skills for students in any method. It is a rhythm workbook and consists of 9 chapters and explanatory notes to teachers.  Each rhythmic unit (quarter note, quarter rest, etc.) is intended to be introduced to the student by ear, then associated with its notation on the page by means of the many patterns included. There are 180 rhythm exercises organized into units that present basic rhythmic patterns found in beginning, intermediate, and advanced musical compositions. Each pattern is repeated and reviewed many times to develop fluency. This approach is based on the Suzuki principle of having the rhythm "in the ear" before seeing and reading the notation on the page, but is just as useful for traditional teaching as well.

The rhythms can be clapped, played on instruments, sung, or used as the basis of student compositions or improvisations. The teaching suggestions are simple. They consist of four sentences!

The exercises are useful in private teaching as well as classroom instruction of general music, band, orchestra, and choir

Features of the book:

Paperback, 8 ½ X 11 inches, 20 pages, 20 examples reinforcing each rhythm pattern
