Rhythm is the most essential element in music - without rhythm, we have only random noise. But in organized patterns of beats and silences, the pulse of music springs to life. While it can be easy to mimic rhythms by ear, correctly counting note values and subdividing according to meter are frequently underdeveloped skills. Rhythm exercises alone can be tedious and uninspiring, but when presented in a familiar melody, patterns become easy to recognize and remember. This book presents common rhythm patterns in various time signatures, beginning with the most basic and progressing toward syncopation and odd meter. Each rhythm is introduced with a simple open string warm-up or scale, then put into practice with songs from all over the world. Unison melodies for violin, viola, cello, and bass stay in easy keys and ranges so the player can focus on the rhythm without other technical challenges. Instrument books can be used in the individual lesson setting with a separate piano accompaniment book. Or, a conductor score is available for use in the string orchestra classroom. Included piano accompaniment tracks provide a fun and helpful play-along experience. Explore the world of rhythm and song as you embark on the journey toward independent musicianship!

Odd Meter Clave for Drumset uses a unique approach to odd time signatures, taking the tried and tested rhythms of Cuba and adjusting them to fit various meters. Beginning with an in depth study of the various claves and their qualities, moving on to the basic rhythms in 4/4 which are the templates for their odd meter counterparts. The odd meter section is divided into 3 chapters, clave in 5, 7 and 9. In each section there is an analysis of odd meter pulse, the clave and their relationship. The student then builds the rhythms of Mambo, Songo, Guaguanco, Mozambique etc. to fit the new claves. These rhythms work on many different levels, as odd meter learning tools, as co-ordination studies or just great sounding grooves. Finally there is a chapter on building your own claves. Here we see some of the possible permutations that can be created by combining and adjusting claves, allowing the student to create original claves on which to build their own unique patterns. With over 300 examples this unique Book & CD opens a world of new possibilities, built on a deep musical tradition.

Many polyrhythms and polymeters simultaneous combinations of more than one rhythmic pattern exist in todays music, with some being so common they could be referred to as rhythm licks. This book presents a unique and comprehensive approach to polymetric applications of various rhythms over common chord progressions and song forms in 3/4 and 4/4, written primarily for instruments with chordal capabilities. Non-chordal instrumentalists interested in rhythmic development and contemporary phrasing may also benefit. Polymetric rhythms will force a variety of harmonic anticipations and delays which can have a profound and beneficial effect on harmonic, melodic, and improvisational phrasing. In addition, the focused attention and expanded awareness needed to master these exercises can also help in your sensitivity and response to the surrounding environment and your interactions with other musicians and audience.
