One of the most significant developments in music over the past hundred years has been the vast expansion of rhythmic possibilities. Think of influences like jazz artists Steve Coleman, Tigran Hamasyan, Snarky Puppy, or classical composers such as Stravinsky, Ligeti, and Messiaen, among many others.

Introduction to Advanced Rhythmbuilds a solid foundation in rhythm, focusing on understanding, accuracy and endurance. Through practical exercises based on the South Indian method of verbalizing rhythm, students engage with subdivisions, groupings, accents, and phrasing across all basic tuplets. This also prepares them for deeper exploration in the follow-up Advanced Rhythm modules.
