 Re: Sight reading timing - hints on how to do it

First the Handel: Maybe the idea of hearing (really hearing) one note and humming or playing it back is a bit arcane. The Handel is just a good example (just a bit more advanced). You’ve heard the Hallelujah Chorus and would naturally sing it as it sounds, one long and three short notes. Easy


But to answer Brycon I would say yes, absolutely that one note’s duration is the essence of good rhythm. One only needs then to put another note after that the same duration, and you have rhythm. I recall Clark Brody, a past principal of the Chicago Symphony speaking of Larry Comb’s audition (for asst principal/Eb at the time). Brody said Combs was the only candidate that played with good rhythm. He didn’t say one of the top players with good rhythm (though I’m sure all the finalists were amazing players). He said, the “the only one.” So it’s not so simple to execute (and Larry was playing Weber’s First Concerto). I think we, and I mean all of us, make it WAY more complex than need be. Sure we can talk about playing an even group of five notes over four beats all day long, but the basics of a steady pulse often get buried under too much “over think” and distractions like “foot tapping.” Haven’t we all seen student groups playing with feet moving in all manner of rhythms simultaneously. Their playing is inevitably much better than it “looks” so why do we insist on teaching tapping feet?
