This class series, open to music students of any instrument, provides a wide variety of concepts & exercises for rhythmic study. Part 1, offered in the fall quarter, focuses on the basics, including reading, counting, understanding meter and subdivision, syncopation, swung rhythms, simple polyrhythms, and much more. In addition to explanations of these fundamental concepts, listening examples will allow students to hear how certain rhythmic patterns sound with musical context, and lay the groundwork for one’s advancement towards a more sophisticated rhythmic fluency.
Prerequisites: none, open to all.
