Perform the rhythms in the following ways:

1. Count and clap. Repeat individual measures until the pattern is comfortable (use the “Set Loop” button:  ).

2. With silent beat and spoken nonsense syllables.

3. Spoken nonsense syllables with conducting patterns.

Each example includes a metronome and begins with one measure for nothing.

Note that the playback does not distinguish between strong and weak beats. Perform the rhythmic exercises with a slight emphasis on downbeats and on other strong beats.
