Time Lines Rhythm Exercises and Patterns Book 1 for All Instruments is a fun music method that will help you improve your rhythm, your sight-reading, and your fundamental skills. It is part of Kyle Coughlin’s Time Focus Music Method which guides students to focus on one element of music at a time. Note that this book does not include any of the melodies or Time Games that are in the Time Lines books for individual instruments. This version of the book only includes rhythms which can be played by all instruments. Book 1 of Time Lines consists of eight lessons that teach you how to play quarter notes and rests, half notes and rests, dotted half notes, whole notes and rests, eighth notes, and dotted quarter notes. The book also features chapters on pickup notes and ties across the measure line. Time Lines Book 1 includes hundreds of practice examples, with rhythm exercises and rhythm patterns, and this edition of Time Lines features more than 60 bonus rhythm patterns that are not available in the other books or the website.
