"The Swift way to count for musicians of all ages"-- Cover.

The subject of 'counting in music' has been largely ignored by formal texts and simply left for music teachers to explain to their students, or it has only sparsely covered by theory textbooks. Counting in music is a difficult subject to teach, but this author has successfully translated her knowledge of the subject into lessons for a novice student. Finding the Rhythm presents a new concept in music education, with lessons and instructions that have never before been seen in print with such simplicity. Anyone, from Classical and Jazz players to Rock musicians and singers, can use, understand and be inspired by this guided tour of rhythm. Learning how to count rhythms is one of the most difficult aspects of music to teach and to learn. Finding the Rhythm makes the journey easy.
