"Well, imo, I think that the authenticity is the most important thing. I did an exercise of transcribing old recordings of shepherd flute folk songs. The rhythm was always performed stretched, pulled, and all other kinds of wacky ways, which in all…"
"I'd would actually go the linguistic route. Using words.
I am hungry.
1, 2, 3, 4 = I am hun gry
1, 2, 3 + 4 = I am hun + gry
Sally went to the store = 1 + and, 2, 3 + and 4 (in beats)
Sally went to the store = 1, 2, 3 (Sal-ly went); 1,2,3 (to…"

"May I am misunderstanding your question, but what about some ear training software like EarMAster. Is it a great program and very usefull for becoming a better musician overall. It has a decent section for training rhythms by looking at notation. :-)"
"I use conducting to transcribe the rhythms that I come up with. Now, don't get me wrong, I am nowhere near being a professional or even useful conductor for an ensemble- it's all about figuring out the patterns for each time signature. Then you…"
"I have only a basic experience with old/modern rhythms, but I have a fantastic tool for experimenting, which is Arpeggiator of my synthesizer Yamaha S90 ES. It contains thousands of embedded rhythms (loops) in hundreds of styles, stored from live…"
"Thanks y'all very quality all the way round. HOSS"
"Read scores.
The more you dig into rhytms that are already notated (and try to reproduce them, of course), the more accustomed you get to certain patterns and motifs that are very common. In the end, you don't even "read" the rhytm anymore - you…"

"Thanks for that, how bout something like a web site? or something to actually see, hear, and do all at the same time? Am I asking too much? I really don't know even where to begin here. I might have a little more than a basic understanding here. I…"
"When I practice rhythms I use a very logical exercise. I play through all the values I know with a metronome. Then I record one value and play it with all the other values. Before playing anything I'll make sure to hear it in my head first and if I…"
"i'm thinking time signatures and maybe a book or two on full set drumming...
dont worry; full set "properly notated" only concerns itself with the notes, rests, and repeats and such.... there is no "pitch" to it. each "instrument" in the drum kit…"

"Although it is important to have a grasp of tonal/functional harmony, writing in keys is a "box" that you should break out of as soon as possible.
For me, studying Lyle Murphy's Equal Interval System (EIS) has been instrumental in understanding the…"

"Along that same line I remember a quote by Billy Holiday. Simply put she couldn't imagine singing a song the same way twice! I have to admit I try to be some what formal in that I do sing it as close as possible the same way most every time. The…"
"may I add to the above that you can open a random piece of (instrumental-and my choice would be classical) music, take a theme that doesnt modulate (change key) and add some chords below. You can even take a piece unknown to you, so that your memory…"
"A fun exercise is to invent a melody comprised mostly of eighth notes.
Next, invent a four-note chord for each eighth note. Try various instrumentations or just use
one instrument, like a piano or strings... "

"I do remember it I have learned a lot from it, and have it bookmarked. that particular part though is a little confusing. Your heading the right way as far as what I'm looking for. I can hear chord changes naturally when I play bass. I guess I'm…"
