Rhythm Challenge — Can You Read these "funny" looking rhythms?
Today, I'm sharing a challenge called "Rhythm Challenge (funny notation)" 🥳
(You can download the PDF via the link)
This challenge is inspired by my experience having to learn new music with awkwardly notated music. Have you ever worked on a piece that just looked "funny" — the kind that has weird groupings of notes and unnecessary rests? I sincerely hope that you don't run into many of these, but you never know. Why don't I help you get ready for that with this challenge?
This can be played by any instrument although it says "snare drum". Just pick your favorite pitch and give it a try.
This challenge will train your ability to:
Read the same rhythms notated in different ways
Stay calm and analyze the rhythm
Learn good notation practice by seeing bad examples
If you do the challenge, please tag me on Instagram @chihiroplayspercussion with the hashtag #positivepercussionist - GOOD LUCK!
