Harmonized Rhythms
Progressive Melodic Rhythm Studies
Charles E. Forque & James Thornton.
Harmonized Rhythms addresses the study of rhythm
both melodically and with full harmonization. One of
the most common probems with bands is the lack of
rhythmic precision, and this book is your best answer
for solving this problem! Your students will learn
rhythmic independence through the performance of 45
progressive four-part harmonized melodies. Parts are
interchangeable, providing you with maximum flexibility.
We think you will find it to be an excellent tool for
improving your band as a whole and your students as
individual musicians.
