Getting the Rhythm Right- pg. 1

Rhythms have always been a challenge for singers. Instrumentalists have to learn to read rhythms accurately, while vocalists are often asked to just imitate what they hear. Would you like to be able to read rhythms like a good instrumentalist does? This class assumes no prior understanding of rhythms, but will start at the beginning and explain basic concepts, giving you a chance to practice on increasingly difficult rhythms. By the time you're done, you should be able to handle any rhythm you can expect to see.
