RHYTHM PRIMER VOLUME TWO
Music Sight Reading Exercises

Bruce E. Arnold

Rhythm is the backbone of music, and the development of a varied rhythmic vocabulary is a must for any creative musician.  Rhythm Primer Volume Two is the second volume in a series of books that take a student from simple to very complex rhythmic situations.  Any instrumentalist seeking to expand their understanding of this aspect of music can benefit from them.

Rhythm Primer Volume Two continues with exercises using 3/4 and 6/8 times signatures.  These are graduated studies so both the beginning and advanced student will find the exercises challenging.  All examples use one pitch, allowing the student to focus completely on time and rhythm.  Midifiles for all the exercises found in this book can be downloaded from the internet.  This breakthrough in music instruction allows the student to hear each example to check accuracy and proper exucution.  Midifiles for all exercises can be downloaded for free in the member's area.  Free midifile players for Mac and Windows compatible computers are also available at this site.  These Midifile players will allow you to choose your own tempo so beginning to advanced students will benefit.

Muse Eek Publishing Company hosts an on-line resource in conjunction with this book.  This free “member’s section” allows book owners to download files specific to this book and/or other help files to further their music education. Unlike traditional situations where the reader is left on their own after purchase of a text, Muse-Eek Publishing seeks to keep the reader/student engaged.   With each book you are beginning a relationship in which help and direction are always available to make sure you are learning correctly.

This book is a required text at New York University and Princeton University and is recommended for music students ages 13 and up.
