Rhythmic Scale Lesson - Improve Your Time and Technique (all instruments)

This video introduces "the rhythmic scale," and demonstrates various ways it can be used. Practicing with it can improve any musician's sense of time, ability to feel subdivisions, as well as overall technique and dexterity. It also provides a unique and fun approach to practicing scales, patterns, and excerpts. As in most of my videos, there's something here for beginners, intermediate players, advanced professionals, and music educators open to new perspectives. The concepts illustrated here can be applied to any instrument or voice.
