Rhythms-Volume 2
Sixteenth-Note Rhythm Exercises
Excerpts: Rhythms 2: Exercise 1

An excerpt from Exercise 1 of Rhythms Volume 2 is provided. To practice and work with these materials download both the manuscript and the midifile for Exercise 1.

A midifile player can also be downloaded for PC or Mac (See instructions below). This will allow the student to adjust the tempo of the exercise. There are 12 exercises in Rhythms Volume 2, which gives the student over 100 pages of rhythms. All rhythmic possiblities within one measure are presented using all combinations of eight notes, triplets, rests and ties.

A students ability to read and recognize any eighth note rhythm will improve greatly by reading all the exercises found in this book.
