I'd just like to add one small thing to Ken's fantastic explanation -- okay, I'm his adoring wife, but he really is spot on.

There is absolutely nothing in his advice that precludes applying the techniques to rhythms and rhythmic patterns. Actually I recommend them highly. I used chunking as a basic technique for teaching rhythm, simply because it eliminated an awful lot of unmusical phrasing and taught people to think in larger groups. It's a technique gleaned from Suzuki and works like a charm.

Best regards,
Mary Vinquist
