Rhythm Boot Camp

Rhythm and counting - the challenge is real!  As musicians, we have a lot to keep track of -- our technique, the musical line, the dynamics... and we also have to count!!  This class will focus solely on rhythm work.  We will review the basics and then quickly move into more complicated rhythms, meters, and concepts.  Along the way, we'll work out strategies for how to count our way through difficult passages.  Prepare to play games, chant, clap, and bang our way to mastering rhythm!  Students should have experience reading 3/4, 4/4 and 6/8 time signatures as well as dotted quarters, eighths and half notes.  Assignments will include learning a rhythmic line, sharing interesting rhythms from their lesson pieces, and creating rhythmic lines to share in class.

 

Class size limited to 4 to 12

Classes will be held on Zoom.  Students will also access Google Classroom for assignments, links, and discussion.
