Jon Arkin Online Class: Rhythmic Fluency

Thursdays 6 – 7:30pm
1/13 – 3/17 (10 weeks)

A solid sense of rhythm is one of the main unifying traits of great musicians. As music students, all of our studies are built upon the foundation of our rhythmic fluency, which is why a dedicated focus on rhythm is such an essential part of developing our musical voice. This class, open to musicians of any instrument, will provide a series of concepts and exercises for rhythmic study, ranging from the basics (meter, notation, counting, syncopation) to more advanced focus (polyrhythm, polymeter, displacement, odd groupings, stacked/nested rhythms). With practice of these rhythmic exercises, students will find a new level of ease and understanding when encountering or exploring advanced rhythmic ideas, which can free up exciting new realms of creative expression.
