Rhythm Ear Training Series
A 12 level Course providing a unique approach to developing your rhythm comprehension and rhythmic application to real music.
Ground Breaking New Ear Training Series Concentrating on Rhythm.
Rhythm is the backbone of music the world over, but unless you are studying percussion, it can be one of the most neglected areas of music education. That's why Muse-Eek has created the Rhythm Ear Training Series.. And like many of our educational products, this series is a lifelong companion, one that will keep you learning and growing the more you use it.
Oddly enough, people are frequently unaware that they have rhythm problems. Unless another musician or a teacher tells them, it's unlikely they will ever know.
- So ask yourself these questions:
-
- Does my rhythm get unreliable when playing solos, chords or trying to lock into a groove with other musicians?
- Do I have a tendency to speed up or slow down when I play or read music?
- Do I lack rhythmic diversity when I’m soloing or writing music?
- When I’m transcribing music do I find it hard to figure out rhythms?
- If someone shows me a rhythm do I have a hard time duplicating it?
- When composing, is it hard for me to translate the rhythms I hear in my head into rhythmic notation?
- Do I have a hard time getting a musical flow happening when I’m playing or improvising?
- Am I in the dark about what rhythm level is being played when I’m listening to or playing music?
- When I have to read music are many of the mistakes I make related to rhythm?
- Do other musicians get chosen instead of me, to play the dance gigs?
Any and all of these problems can be symptoms of poor rhythmic skills. These can cause you not to perform well, get lost when playing music and not be connected in a meaningful way to the music you are listening to or playing.
- By working with the Rhythm Ear Training Series... you will develop the following strengths:
-
- The ability to recognize rhythms when you hear them or see them written on a page.
- A more consistent groove as you play music.
- An understanding of how music is put together rhythmically.
- Enhanced speed and accuracy in your playing.
- A much more robust vocabulary of rhythms that you naturally play when you are performing music.
- More meaningful interactions with other musicians.
- Ability to learn new music faster.
- Rhythmic accuracy that will have people connecting with you physically when you play; in other words, they'll be dancing!

- What people are saying:
-
- This is the course I've been looking for; a way to learn rhythms on-the-run. I travel for business about 40 weeks a year so I'm a road dog. I love music and I've been in contact with Bruce for years for recommendations on how I can get where I want to go. Bruce recommended this course and one thing in his email really hit home. He said "If you get very few chances to play with other people your rhythm is going to be inherently weak. Even myself I notice if I haven't played with people even within one week I notice a slip in my rhythm skills. Playing with others naturally improves your rhythm. If you don't have that outlet you most likely have problems." After working with the Rhythm Ear Training Series... for a few weeks I went back and listened to some things I had recorded a few months back, and I heard how my soloing was in an out of time and my playing was so stiff it was painful to listen to -- and it had sounded okay to me before! Again back to Bruce's email he said. "You need to raise your perception. You might think your rhythm is just fine but it may not be; it may just be you haven't raised your perception of rhythm to a point where you can hear the problems." So true. This is exactly what I'm experiencing, and the more I work on my rhythm, the more what I play finally sounds like a pro. All this I guess leads me to the last point. Hey, do you really think your rhythm has no problem? Maybe you should check in with this course and make it proof positive of where you stand. I know it was an eye opener for me. G. Townsend
- The Rhythm Ear Training Series... has really helped me. I bought the complete course during the special back in Sept 12.T In particular, I enjoy the MP3s where you get a voice answer. I use these as I commute to work in the morning and I'm really getting it. I never thought of music from a rhythm standpoint and through these exercises I've started to understand music in a whole different way . T. Goetz
- I'm just starting out with music and got the Level One Rhythm Ear Training Series. The PDF that accompanies the course got me understanding about rhythm and how it is written. I had tried to learn rhythm on a few online sites but they just didn't work for me. If you are like me and just getting started this Rhythm Ear Training Series... is good for a beginner, it's great if you are in the same situation. A. Washington
