Basic Rhythmic Training (Instructional) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you want to learn to read rhythm notation this is a very good book to start with, you don't have to know anything about notation to use this book it teaches that from scratch.
The book starts with the Pulse and how tonotate it, goes on to, up and downbeat and then introduces time signaturesand then on to examples of 2, 3, 4, and 5 beats to the bar. The concepts ofsyncopations and changing meters are introduced and the how to divide thepulse in to two, three and four equal parts, or eight notes, triplets andsixteenth notes. He deals with the time signatures of 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4and 6/8, 9/8, and 12/8.
It's a good book to learn both the basics ofrhythm and the basics of rhythm notation.
When you are through with thisbook you can the continue with his other book Rhythmic Training, and checkalso out the book by Gary Hess.

Rhythmic Training: Student's Workbook (Instructional) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If I were to go simply by my gut instinct and opinion of this book I would rate it zero, because of how much difficulty I had with the exercises!BUT, it is a textbook, and it really makes you think.Starer is a composer as well as a teacher and by the end of the book the exercises definitely reflect his contemporarystyle. The exercises range from simple rhythmic exercises through three-on-two and more complex syncopations to two-line duets-with-yourself.You will need to practice and work up your speed on every exercise until you master it. This was a textbook for the University of Delaware's Department of Music, specifically for MUSC 285/286, Advanced Ear-Training and Sight-Singing (the second year of majors' study.)
