Intro To Polyrhythms

One of the best methods for learning advanced rhythm, polyrhythm, and metric/harmonic superimposition. Looks at rhythm through a magnifying glass so the student can see, sing, and hear various subdivisions and groupings. Useful for any instrumentalists. It will greatly improve the student's improvisational ability to create and respond to rhythmic musical dialogue.
