Rhythmic training
on: January 14, 2008, 07:39:19 PM
I wonder what kind of rhythmic training you do in Uk and Us
We do "spoken solfege" which is the reading and complex rhythmic figures saying aloud the name of the notes for their respective durations.

How do you learn how to divide/solfege/realize complex rhythmic figures and how do you call your kind of rhythmic training?

There is solkatu.  There was a course in my uni that taught it (although it was not a required one).

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

I just either use clapping, or tapping, or saying rhythms on "ta" ... works for me (and my students).
