  • @doubledoubletwnktwnk Thanks for the tip! Yes, this is indeed helpful advice, and intend on trying this method out when I meet up with my student next week :-)

  • @wasbedeutetjemanden: In the Kodaly method, before a student plays a piece, (s)he (1) pats steady beat on his/her lap and says the rhythm syllables first -- marching on beat, if necessary. Then (2) student marches beat while clapping the rhythm or tapping it with sticks. (3) Student sings "loo" or hums while clapping rhythm high/low, relative to the piece's melodic direction. (4) Student sings solfege while clapping melodic contour. (5) Student sings letter names while fingering notes. Helpful?

  • I almost spat out my drink when you said, ever so casually, "refrain from hitting them or physical violence" lollll

  • fail, im skiller you are not :D

  • fail.

  • I thought it was interesting you started with whole note versus Quarter note. You are so right, though .... the "counting aloud" is not rhythmic and metrical. Thanks for the post!

  • so? why is that a problem...

  • lol i agree...what a hot teacher...i wish my teacher was like that.
