This comprehensive technique and musicianship book will help develop, improve, and solidify the rhythmic accuracy of your students, individually and as an ensemble. The exercises, songs and etudes, along with their accompanying rhythmic counterparts and variations, have been carefully selected to enable students and orchestras to explore fundamental skills related to rhythmic development. Emphasis is placed on understanding and learning to play basic rhythmic units correctly with both the right hand and the left hand, while the order and flexibility of the materials allows you to focus on the skills needed most. Section I introduces basic note values, rest values, and divisions of the beat. The four-measure rhythms can be practiced in a variety of ways and include specific suggestions for mastery. Section II has a wealth of music, including folksongs, rounds, and excerpts from standard orchestral repertoire. Also included are "Rhythm Trainers" that help students master new rhythms before they are presented in the music. Section III focuses on the technique of variation. Familiar folksongs and time-tested etudes help students focus on successfully applying the rhythmic and melodic variations (left hand development), as well as the bowing variations (right hand development). Section IV continues the technique of variation with short, two-measure finger patterns based on tetrachords, one- and two-octave scales, and scales in broken thirds. Use of the "Finger Runners" will improve left-hand dexterity, velocity, and rhythm, while use of the "Rhythm Runners" will improve right-hand bowing technique. The flexibility of notation allows each scale to be played as major, minor, modal, and more, and the suggestions for further melodic and rhythmic variation encourage scale practice to be fun. With the variety of results-driven music and exercises, and the flexibility throughout of melodic, rhythmic, and/or bowing variation, this will be your go-to book for daily rhythm practice.
