Fascinating Rhythm (The Complete Guide To Learning Music)

Which of the three elements of music: melody, harmony and rhythm do you think is the most important? That's a good question. My answer is rhythm. That's why I called it "Fascinating Rhythm." After studying this Book, you might agree with me. In this Book, you will learn how to read & write rhythms, how to improvise rhythms, play in different styles, but most important...how to play in the pocket! The data in this book applies to any musician at any level of expertise regardless of what instrument or style of music he/she plays. This is invaluable as a reference book for private lessons or as a textbook for classroom study. This Book answers many interesting questions such as: * Is it true that some people have rhythm and some don't? * What is time, beats, bars, downbeats, backbeats, rhythmic feel? * What is the importance of a metronome? * How does one learn to keep time? * What are the common time signatures? * How fast should you be able to play or read music? * What are the three main rhythmic feels and how do they relate to styles? * What is the difference between grooving and comping? * How do you play in or with a rhythm section? * How can I learn to improvise in any rhythm? * What are Polyrhythms? * Why are odd meters?
