*** An instructional video for the Second Edition is coming August 2025!***
The Rhythm Drill Book Complete Second Edition is a resource for aspiring musicians of all ages and disciplines to improve their sense of rhythm and meter. Every teacher has seen students struggle with interpreting rhythmic patterns, either when learning new repertoire or when sight reading. Even if the rhythmic execution is technically correct, the underlying pulse may be unsteady or lacking in forward momentum.
The Rhythm Drill Books were developed in response to the need for graded drills to learn critical rhythmic skills. They can be used for home practice and during lessons, as well as semi-private or group settings. Through regular practice, the Drill Books help develop a stronger sense of rhythm and pulse, and at the same time improve sight reading abilities.
The Series is divided into three levels, available in one complete volume as a teachers’ resource or separately for students’ use. The levels are loosely based on the RCM 2022 Piano Syllabus*.
Junior – Preparatory and Levels 1 to 4
Intermediate – Levels 5 to Level 8
Senior – Levels 9 to ARCT
