Rhythm Reading for All Musicians: each Composer: Jaggle Peter
This is arguably the most comprehensive tutorial book of reading rhythm ever written. It starts the student out from the most basic rhythm figures and progresses through many small steps through to some of the most complex figures you will find in western music. Odd time rhythms 7/16, 17/8, poly rhythms 7:4, 9:8 etc, figures that have their roots in the Tabla rhythms of India (Think Frank Zappa, John McLaughlin). It culminates with 45 Etudes (Solo pieces) ranging from the very simple to the extremely difficult, these Etudes can be used for examination / audition pieces etc, etc. The book comes with an audio CD of MP3 files of every single exercise in the book.
