Series: Playing with Sheet Music

Playing with Sheet Music is a series of accessible textbooks for music lovers of all ages. In this third book, you'll learn to recognize metre and rhythm. With the use of the carefully constructed exercises in this book, you'll practice the lengths of notes and rests, and rhythmic patterns. Also, you'll be able to recognise and play various time signatures.

The exercises are focused on practice. You'll practise playing with both hands and with fingering, starting off with simple exercises. Soon you'll become familiar with rhythms that are often used in popular and classical music. At the end of the book, we pay attention to repetitions, and reading and playing longer pieces of music. After completing this book, you will have all the basic skills to be able to play the most commonly used time signatures and rhythms off sheet music.

Learn to Read and Play Rhythm is a reliable method for anyone who wants to master metre and rhythm. The exercises are pleasant to do and originate from the practice of music education. Just like Books 1 and 2, Book 3 is also suitable for self-study as well as for lessons under the guidance of a teacher. We wish you a lot of fun with the exercises, which are made for and by musicians.
