Rhythm and Timing 101 (Beginner)
(A Part of the Online Piano Training Program)
In this course, you will get thorough training from the ground up with regards to rhythm and timing. I will start you off with some simple "tapping" exercises to establish your sense of rhythm, then we will spill into some simple, one-a-day, 4-measure rhythm exercises. I will start you off with quarter notes, half notes, and whole notes, which you will play with separate hands first, then both hands together. Then, you will eventually move through the same process with 8th notes later on in the course.
