Need advice about rhythm training
on: December 24, 2024, 10:05:07 AM
The students' music theory is very weak, especially rhythm is a big problem, is there a method or book to fix this? They don't know which note comes on which beat

Yoy can try starting with simple exercises where students clap the rhythm while counting aloud. This builds a strong connection between beats and note values.

If you're the teacher than you have to analyze/figure out what the student knows and doesn't know, what needs to be built, at which level.  You don't start with a method book.  You start with what needs to be taught, and then look for tools to help you. As teacher, you created the program, which in one-on-one is both planned but loose and interactive.

I would suggest that they write in the counts and tap and count the rhythms out loud. I've got some more instructions here if you're interested. https://www.pianolessonsuk.co.uk/pianolessonsuk-blog/sight-reading-tips-grades-1-and-2-abrsm
