Music Theory Classroom: Fundamentals of Rhythm 2
This is Part 2 of the 3-part Fundamentals of Rhythm course.
Description
Music Theory Classroom is a four-course, one- to two-year music theory curriculum designed for high-school and homeschool students. It covers the material studied by music majors in the first one to two years of college, but it is structured so that a diligent student can complete it in three 14-week terms.
The four courses in the curriculum include: two Fundamentals courses which are intended to be taken concurrently, followed by Diatonic Harmony and then Chromatic Harmony. Each course has 28 lessons, so the recommended pace is approximately two lessons per week (when taking the Fundamentals courses, this means two lessons from each of the two courses). Students should feel free to move more slowly if the material is completely new.
This is Part 2 of the Fundamentals of Rhythm course. Students are assumed to have already mastered many aspects of rhythm (see above). If you have not mastered these, you should consider starting with either Part 1. On the other hand, if you feel you even understand a lot of the topics to be covered in this course, you may want to consider starting with Part 3.
Note: Some lesson numbers appear out of order. Even though they're distributed across the three parts of the course, the lessons are numbered in the suggested order.
