BOOK ONE Rhythm Vocabular Charts For Effective Rhythmic Development by ED SUETAINTRODUCTION ‘The thirty two Rhythm Vocabulary Charts in this book contain a basic rhythmic foundation for the developing musician. The purpose of che Charts is to lead the student toward rhythmic under- standing and independence. ‘Two types of music reading skills should be taught throughout the Charts: simultaneous scanning, Which isa right brain function, and linear scanning, whichis a left brain function, My Rhythm Syllable System as indicated throughout the Charts, leads the student toward simul- taneous scanning, whereas a number system leads the student toward linear scanning. BOTH METH- ODS SHOULD BE TAUGHT THROUGHOUT THE CHARTS, MY RHYTHM SYLLABLES FIRST, A NUMBER SYSTEM SECOND. As the student matures, the emphasis should be shifted from simul- taneous scanning (chythm syllables) to linear scanning (number system). The number system used will be the one preferred by the teacher. Ultimately, the student should be able to read music using either method, ‘The Rhythm Vocabulary Charts are sequenced in order of difficulty. Each rhythmic concept is dealt with individually and then expanded in subsequent Charts. Beginners can start with Chart One. Older students with previous experience can start at the place in the Charts where their understanding isnot clear. OVERHEAD TRANSPARENCIES are available and can be utilized in conjunction with this book in the classroom. SUGGESTED TECHNICS FOR OBTAINING BEST RESULTS: . Say each line and clap the notes, Say each line and tap the notes with the right hand (on desk top or right knee). Say each line and tap the pulse with the left hand and tap the notes with the right hand. Hand tapping directions can be reversed for left handed students, Foot tapping (pulse) is optional, but strongly recommended. . As understanding and coordination develop, increase speed, The ultimate goal should be to go as fast as possible, awreyeSUETA RHYTHM SYLLABLES swans 12, Ff, Few. 13. 8 4 Bee [2B 4B Gee 1oonca cote = — J 1So0 0080 ° — — ToSo080 d ° 1 ToDo" d 5 ‘ ToGo" ds d 2 Gece en) a a tact) ITT 24d Fi T (spoken letter T) ‘ 3 3 DaDaDa(Duh Duh Duh) |} 7d 2d] | * The reason for using tho same syllables for these nots is thatthe second pulse is common to both.
