Sight reading rhythms is an important skill for vocalists and instrumentalists. The ability to quickly understand the rhythm helps reduce the amount of information to process in a new piece of music and allows for greater focus on dynamics, tone, and balance. Building confidence in sight reading tricky rhythms also enables you to get off the page quicker to connect with the director and other musicians in your ensemble.
In this video, Lynné Gray talks through the basics of sight reading rhythms and connecting them to the pulse of the song.
