An innovative self-help system to enable the music practicer to learn and master sight-reading rhythm notation on their own. Using simple language, the Rhythm Sight-Readers define all basic rhythm values - including syncopation, ties, rests, & time signatures - and teach evolving musicians through step-by-step instructions how to sight-read rhythm notation on their instruments. "Understanding is doing" is the underlying philosophy of this unique method designed to stimulate creativity and musicianship. Each music sight-reading book contains numerous rhythm pieces to be played as duets or trios making A Rhythm Sight-Reader invaluable for both private and class instruction.
