Music Blog

For those who are new to this site, the music studio tab is where I post music education materials. Believe it or not, it takes me a lot more effort to write these worksheets than it does for my students to complete them. So you might wonder why I spend all that time creating them — as you can see I have posted a lot! The answer is simple. Although there are many fabulous music method books currently available, most do not offer sufficient practice, especially with regards to rhythm. It's a gripe a lot of teachers have. Don't ask me why there are so few method books addressing this issue. It certainly doesn't change the need. Rhythmic proficiency is one of the greatest obstacles in a student's ability to sightread, and ultimate goal of independence. So I've done my part, small as it may seem. Print and practice. That's all there is to it.
