Name it, tap it, write it
Rhythm is more than counting aloud. You need to name a pattern, tap it in time, and fill rests on the staff. Contest aural tests mix all three.
Start with simple duple meters and clear subdivisions. Add rests, syncopation, and compound meters only when the basics stay steady under a metronome.
A weekly loop
Alternate hearing (what did you hear?), tapping or clapping, and notation (write or pick the rest fill). Use a metronome so the pulse stays honest.
- Clap before you name
- Tap with a click — free tempo first if needed, then with meter
- Write rests as carefully as notes
- Use Today’s mix to revisit weak rhythm skills
