- beagle3 7y agoFor me the hard part was getting the pitch and remembering the modifiers (repeat/sharp/flat) from the beginning of the line. The rhythm was always trivial. Mileage does vary....
- shiro 7y agoUnless you're dealing with contemporary pieces, atonal or with wild harmony, modifiers are largely the result of tonality, mode and chord progression, aren't they? I hardly need to make me "remember" them... But yeah, I'm terrible with rhythm. I'm curious that there are different types of brain to perceive the music.
- tzs 7y agoWhen reading music, I have an odd tendency to get off by one on the note duration. Anyone else here have that problem? What I mean by that is that I read and play a note, and then look ahead to the next note. I then tend to use the duration given for the second note as how long to let the prior note continue before playing the second note.
- sasaf5 7y agoRhythm had always been a problem for me until I found "Complete Rhythm Trainer" (android app). It scrolls a music sheet and you gotta tap on the beginning of each note. It kinda clicked for me and I could always read rhythm well after that
- dralinkshe 7y agoGood job rhythm and notes are separable skills.
