RHYTHMIC STUDIES, PART 2
Compiled by Terry B. Ewell
Introduction to Rhythmic Studies
This collection of rhythmic studies is drawn from this work:
George A. Wedge,Advanced Ear-Training and Sight-Singing As Applied to the Study of
Harmony: A Continuation of the Practical and Coordinated Course for Schools and
Private Study (New York: G. Schirmer, Inc. 1922).
Wedge was an outstanding pedagogue who included in his text several interesting methods of
mastering rhythms. One of the primary methods was to sing major scales descending and
ascending to the given rhythmic patterns. Here is an example he gives in the text (Wedge, p.
10):
Wedge recommends singing patterns with la but solfege could be used as well, if desired.
Naturally the studies could be played on instruments instead of sung.
Occasionally in the studies Wedge supplies designations for pitches. Take for example the
following (Wedge, p. 90):
The 6, 7, and 8 in line 2 indicate pitches La, Ti, Do. Line 3 reads 5, 3 indicating Sol, Mi.
Additionally the Wedge studies could be performed in ensemble exercises by combining select
lines of the study. For instance, students could each tap or clap simultaneously these two parts
(Wedge, p. 108):

Students should be encouraged to subdivide all rhythmic studies in order to better develop
rhythmic precision.
See these modules available onwww.cnx.orgfor information on subdivisions:
