The Tik-A Tee Method
We know that RHYTHM applies to ALL INSTRUMENTS and to ALL ENSEMBLES. My rhythmic sight-reading method book is intentionally designed to be used by EVERY TYPE OF MUSIC ENSEMBLE, as well as PRIVATE INSTRUCTION, MUSIC THEORY CLASSES, and more! The 172-page spiral-bound book focuses only on rhythm and time signatures, from beginning to advanced, through the vocalization of rhythms using only four basic words. With clear and concise explanations, visuals, and summaries, constructed in an easy-to-understand, easy-to-use format, with over 346 practice exercises and over 363 MP3s, this book could change how you and your students think about sight-reading! My system is research-based, and backed by over three decades of experience directing instrumental and vocal ensembles, as well as teaching high-level music theory courses. Improve (students') RHYTHMIC sight-reading and witness how dramatically it will boost (students') confidence and accuracy in MELODIC sight-reading!
