Want to develop a sense of rhythm? Do you want to accurately perform complex rhythmic patterns? NEW — POLYRHYTHM MODE Two hands, two counts inside one beat. 3 against 2 is open here, the one every musician meets first — and it is the whole mode, not a taste of it: four stages, from one hand alone up to both at speed, each one scored. - Two tap zones, one for each hand. Every hand is scored on its own, so you can see which one is drifting and by how much. - Read the cycle as notation or as two turning rings — the same exercise, whichever way makes it click for you. - Give each hand its own instrument, so the two lines stay apart by ear. - Practice runs the cycle over and over and lets the tempo follow your hands: up a step when the cycle comes out clean, back down when it doesn't. Sessions here run five minutes. - Polyrhythm accuracy is kept apart from your rhythm statistics: it trains a different skill and belongs in its own tally. RHYTHM TRAINING Rhythm is an app that uses flash cards to develop a sense of rhythm. The exercises and classes in the app will help you gradually learn to recognize and play rhythmic patterns at different tempos.
