Hal Leonard’s ‘The Rhythm Book’

Christian Wissmuller • Print & Digital • September 4, 2018

Acclaimed jazz guitarist and Associate Professor of Music and Rhythm at The New School, Rory Stuart, aims to make learning to read and write rhythms easy with The Rhythm Book.

The Rhythm Book – Beginning Notation and Sight-Reading starts students off with an easy-to-follow, step-by-step method, starting from the very basics. Stuart introduces students to the quarter note, eighth note, and triplet eighth rhythms, including syncopations.

The Rhythm Book – Intermediate Notation and Sight-Reading continues off of the work featured in the first book, with Stuart teaching students all they need to know about 16th notes through triplets of all rates, syncopations, triple meters, odd meters, 32nd notes, and beyond to prepare students to read and correctly write nearly every rhythm they’ll encounter.

Each book features exercises, worksheets, and recordings of the exercises to help practice the material featured throughout each book. The recordings in each book are available online for download or streaming, using a unique code on the first page of the book. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.

Whether you’re an experienced musician who has never learned notation, a total beginner, a vocalist, or someone who is looking to increase their notation and sight-reading knowledge, The Rhythm Book is a perfect place to start perfecting your rhythm. Both books are available for $19.99.
