    INTRODUCTION Basics in Rhythm contains nine units of graduated shythm exercises beginning with simple whole and half note studies and progressing through complex changing:meter exercises. The rhythm "key", which begins each study, presents important rhythmic material and should be mastered before proceeding to the following exercise. Practice METHOD The rhythm exercises in this book are to be clapped and the syllables counted out loud. By counting out loud, the student will develop a system of “rhythmesyllable association”. This system will enable the student to read thythms at ht (regardless of the context or historical-style period). Repeat each measure of the rhythm “key” several times, or until mastered, before playing the rhythm exercise, FUNDAMENTALS OF RHYTHM Become familiar with the following fundamentals of rhythm. Mastery of the counting method through diligent practice will help the student to improve music reading skills.

Double bar lines are used at the end of a large section of music or at the conclusion of a comp ats Terie? *Attime signature consists of either two numbers arranged vertically or some other symbol. The fop number tells how many counts or beats there are in each measure; any number may be used. The bottom number tells what kind of note value gets one count; only the following numbers may be used: to 2d ad 8d wd sed * In simple time the beat unit is divisible by two. For example, 3, 4 and so on. The symbol for 4 time or common time is ©. The symbol for & time or cut lime is & + In compound time the beat unit is divisible by three. For example, when §, 2 and lime signatures are used with fast tempos, the dotted quarter note gels one count. (When §, 8 and # time signatures are used with slow tempos, the eighth note gets one count.)
