Description

Teaching Rhythms in the classroom and to private students is made beautifully simple with Reading Rhythm Syllables, Ta Titi Ta. Reading Rhythms is the first in step in becoming a skilled sight-reader. And reading rhythms–independently, without hearing them first–is something many students struggle with for years. Some never learn. The truth is, making rhythms is something human beings do and enjoy doing. Reading rhythms can be just as easy and just as fun as playing them. Zoltán Kodály (1882-1967) is renowned for his efforts to make the joy of music available to everyone. As a pedagogue whose influence continues to grow long after his death, Kodály understood children learn music best by experiencing it. (Rhythm syllables make rhythm reading a musical experience.) Kodály was a gatherer of the best in musical teaching techniques. Rhythm syllables, far superior to the unmusical method of counting, is an integral part of his philosophy…a philosophy that has proven itself to do just what he desired: make music available to all.
