Ear Training Rhythm

Ear Training Rhythm

PET has an unique system for generating random rhythms that still sound musical. You can choose from 18 common rhythm patterns which are then combined into a longer rhythm for you to identify. To make more complicated rhythms, ties can be added between the patterns either within or across the bar lines.

An useful metronome is available to help you keep the pulse.

Side Note: When reading music many people find the rhythm harder to read than the pitch. Mastery of the 18 common rhythm patterns can help significantly with this.

Top tips for practising rhythms with PET

* You don't need to be able to read music to use PET just listen to the rhythm and try to tap it out or play it on your instrument.

* When chosing from the 18 common rhythm patterns try to select patterns that are related to each other. There are three main groups:

* where the shortest note is a quaver (8th note)
* where the shortest note is a semiquaver (16th note)
* where the shortest note is a quaver triplet (12th note)

Here are some recommended pattern combinations:

1) For practising 8th notes: 1, 2, 5, 12, 13, 14
2) For practising 16th notes: 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
3) For practising 12th notes: 1, 2, 15, 16, 17, 18
