Embrace Rhythm for Musical Mastery

Connecting performances enhances the musical experience, emphasizing the importance of rhythm as a fundamental element of music. Developing skills in rhythmic sight reading, particularly beyond unison rhythms, prepares students for playing harmonized rhythms and counterpoint. Confidence in playing rhythms alongside multiple musical elements is essential. This time of year, while rehearsals may be shorter, presents an opportunity for groups to engage with spring concert music, fostering growth in ensemble performance despite being under rehearsed.
