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 isa 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.
