Whether an instrumentalist or a vocalist, this book will help you achieve a remarkable control in the performance of the most difficult and rhythmically complex lines of music. Beginning with detailed instruction for the novice and building to more advanced levels, the single and double line rhythm exercises are enormously beneficial to every musician. Rhythmic phrases are intentionally composed by using short, long, or unequal number of measures. Odd rhythms with their odd time-signatures are included, offering a fresh welcoming change from the usual rhythms with their customary common time-signatures. The creative musician/performer will find the numerous accent symbols helpful in uncovering the not so obvious (concealed) rhythmic phrases and for bringing the pieces of rhythm to life.
