Dotted rhythms and syncopations present accuracy challenges. An excellent technique to overcome difficulties is to subdivide the rhythm into a common divisible value and articulate the subdivision. For example: when playing dotted eighth-sixteenth note rhythms, articulate the dotted eighth as three sixteenths, the placement of the fourth sixteenth note becomes obvious. Practicing the subdivision then imagining the sound in your mind as you play will create an accurate sense of rhythm. |
