Rhythm Reading Book 1 w/CDs
Can be used with any teaching method or with Music Reading Books 1, 1-B and Music Reading Book 2
Makes sight-reading rhythms more transparent. For all instruments and vocalists! Improving the ability to read and play rhythms fluently and accurately seems to be more difficult than learning which pitch (key) is to be played. Because of that difficulty, rhythm patterns are learned without reference to pitch in Rhythm Reading - Books 1 and 2.
Musicians who can easily sight read rhythms can do so because they know how various rhythmic combinations "feel". In other words, they have learned how a rhythm sounds before it is played.
132 different exercises. 46 pages of instruction and writing - 22 pages of playing exercises. Loose leaf format - 68 pages and two CD's
Sight Reading
Used with Music Book 1 or Music Reading Book 1-B
Drills, writing exercises and the drawing of a variety of musical symbols. Recognizing and playing of patterns is introduced to facilitate the student's music reading fluency.
Loose leaf format - 106 pages
