RhythmMadness pp45 48

Syncopated rhythms should feel natural to smoothly sightread any music. Musicians should relax and avoid tensing up when seeing complex rhythms, which helps improve sightreading skills and become a better overall musician. Thinking of phrases as a single melody rather than individual notes makes playing sound more musical than mechanical. Finding a practice partner allows taking turns playing in an echo style, giving each other an audience and allowing more rest than solo practicing.

46 rhythm madness part two–rock /latin rhythms

When syncopated rhythms feel as “normal” to you as very straight rhythms, then you are on your way to being able to smoothly
sightread whatever music is put in front of you. Try to make “tricky” rhythms seem smooth and not forced or jerky. When you do this you
learn to relax and not tense up when you see complex rhythms, and you become a better sightreader and a better musician overall.

48 rhythm madness part two–rock /latin rhythms

Thinking of each phrase as one melody rather than a group of notes and rhythms helps you sound more musical and far less mechanical. If
you’re playing alone, pretend you’re playing for an audience. Better yet, find a practice partner and do “team practicing,” playing these in “echo”
fashion. You’ll rest as much as you play, you’ll have a sympathetic audience, and you’ll play better than you would if you were practicing alone.
