Music Theory Secrets - Reading Together - Pitch and Rhythm Basics

"Practice both counting and rhythms. You might want to clap the exercise and play it on your instrument. Remember not to clap or play on the tie or the dot. Wind players must remember that rhythm is both in finger movement and in articulation; therefore, you may articulate or tongue rhythms on a single pitch but you might want to play up and down scales to produce rhythms through finger movement. String players will play rhythms through bowing and finger movement."
