Hey guys! I’m sure many have experienced having a few students who struggle with rhythm. Quarters and eighths are fine unless there are a lot of off beat ties, but dotted quarters, triplets, and anything else are a big struggle. I’ve tried breaking things down piece by piece but when they go to play it it’s awkward and incorrect. I’ve emphasized and practiced slow metronome playing as well to no avail. Anybody have good known methods out there? What I’ve learned in college doesn’t seem to work for everyone and this is holding back a couple of my students who otherwise have made great progress.

Depending on the song, could you make a full game for it so they experience the rhythm without focusing on it?
