Clapping Rhythms
June 19th, 2009 Brian Posted in Piano Classes | No Comments »
In my post of 31 May 2009 I mentioned about clapping rhythms, and that no matter what duration the note has, each clap is short in sound. I did ask my students to sing ‘la’ while clapping each note ensuring that the ‘la’ sounded for the correct duration of the value of the note. This is the first time I have tried this with students and it worked with no trouble at all. I will keep using this strategy for teaching rhythm.
