You Got Rhythm!




You Got Rhythm!

This comprehensive and complete online music course will teach you how to read, write and play rhythms in sheet music easily. Whether you already play piano, play guitar, sing, or are thinking of learning an instrument, you’ll learn to read music faster.

This music course is designed to teach you every detail of musical notation with regard to rhythm: how to read rhythm, how to write down rhythm and how to play rhythm.

Who this course is for:

  • Absolute beginners (never touched an instrument or sung a note before)

  • Self-taught piano players and guitar players

  • Instrumentalists that play by ear, whether amateur or professional

  • Music students that have taken an online music course on piano or guitar (or other instrument)

  • Jazz players wanting to audition for formal music study at University level

  • Working musicians who want to get more gigs

The value of learning rhythm separately from melody and chords will help you read the sheet music much more easily, even if you have never read a note of music before.

Master these music skills to read and write down rhythm to discover your creative musical talent!

While there are plenty of music courses that teach the theory behind reading music, it’s hard to find an in-depth course that focuses exclusively on rhythm like this one, which is for beginners to even advanced players that play by ear.

This course is designed for all musicians that want to read sheet music and play more of the music they love.

Advanced players who play exclusively by ear and want to earn more money from their music will benefit from this course.

What you will learn:

  • How to read, write and play the eight basic note values

  • Master time signatures, even 5/4

  • How to use techniques to read and then feel syncopation

  • Read, write and play polyrhythms

The musical skills you’ll learn throughout this course:

  • Sight-reading

  • How to play in time

  • How to write down your musical ideas to create better songs

  • Independent hands (so important for learning any instrument but particularly important for piano and drum kit)

  • Hear a rhythm that inspires you and write it down

  • How to challenge yourself to play any instrument better

  • How to conduct and lead a musical group

  • How to practise and rehearse music

  • How to bring people together through music

  • How to play faster with good technique using rhythm

  • How to express yourself using music.

Rhythm in music is usually taught as an afterthought. If you're lucky, they'll teach you ‘that note is worth two’ or ‘that note is worth three’. You are left to work out rhythm by yourself. In this comprehensive course, we cover everything there is to know about rhythm. You’ll learn the techniques professional musicians use to read and play any rhythm in sheet music confidently. You’ll waste less time during expensive music lessons asking your instructor how to play the rhythm.

This course does a deep dive on rhythm. Reading the melody and chords of piano music and guitar music will be a breeze after taking this course, because you’ve already solved over half of the complexity of written music - rhythm.

This course touches on a range of musical genres and styles including:

  • Classical (eg. Mozart, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky)

  • Pop (eg. Beyonce, Backstreet Boys, Michael Jackson)

  • Metal (eg. Metallica, Fear Factory, Rammstein)

  • Jazz (eg. Brubeck)

  • Blues (Muddy Waters)

  • Rap (Run DMC)

This is not a dry and boring music theory course. Activities include:

  • Creating your own rap background (‘backing track’) using only what you can find in your kitchen (‘Kitchen Rap’)

  • Write short rhythms to share in a group, such as a drumming circle or to teach the kids at home

  • Learn your part then rehearse and perform with a symphony orchestra (playing saucepan lids!).

Resources for you to download and keep include:

  • A study guide to the whole course

  • A guide to all the note values

  • A guide to the most common time signatures

  • A guide to dotted notes

  • Manuscript paper in several forms

  • Practice sheets for writing down music

  • Musical puzzle challenge

  • Journals to track your progress in writing and playing challenges.

What instrument, software and equipment do I need?

None. You may want to download a metronome app on your phone, but it’s not compulsory. We mainly use clapping, drumming on empty tin cans, even squeaky toys. That way you can internalise the feel of rhythm without the distraction of dealing with a musical instrument.

Who is the instructor?

I (Anne Plummer) am a musician whose entire career depends on being able to read music fluently. I wished I’d understood much earlier that there is a difference between music that is difficult to read versus music that is difficult to play. I know complexity can be with the rhythm, not the melody or chords. This course makes it easy to understand how rhythm works.

If you are unsatisfied with this course, you can ask for a full refund as there is a 30 day money back guarantee from Udemy: no questions asked.

Reading music is a skill that will allow you to discover more of the music you love. Reading rhythm will take you on an amazing musical journey. After taking this course, you’ll start playing your instrument and fly!

Thank you for checking out my course - I can’t wait to see you in class!

Enroll now to play more of the music you love and discover more music.

Kind regards,

Anne.
