WHAT IS RHYTHM?
The word rhythm originated in Greek ῥυθμός or rhythmos, which is "any
regular recurring motion, symmetry." (Rhythm - Wikipedia, 2019) In
general, it means a movement marked by the regulated succession of
strong and weak elements, or of opposite or different conditions."
(Oxford English Dictionary, 1971)
In the performing arts, rhythm is the timing of
events, the accent of sounds and silences that occur
over time, the meter of spoken language and poetry,
or the movements of a dance.
IMPORTANCE OF RHYTHM
The absolute most prominent groups ever from the Beatles to Metallica, all
share immaculate mood for all intents and purpose. Faultless musicality and
ability to stay on beat is the key for prevailing as an instrumentalist.
. Practice troublesome rhythms and figure out how to tune in for good beat.
Consider buying a metronome or metronome application to accomplish your next
degree of melodic accuracy.
IMPORTANCE OF RHYTHM
Having a good rhythm enables you to:
·Stay in the time with your band
·You can play rhythmic figure by ear
·You can sight-read rhythms
·You won’t rush or drag the beat
TYPES OF RHYTHM
By Choreographer Doris Humphrey (1959)
MOTOR OR BEAT RHYTHM-The motor rhythm, also known as
the beat rhythm, is produced by the motor mechanism.
BREATH RTHYTHM-Breath rhythm gives a sense of expression
and is qualitatively different from the motor rhythm because it
does not have a sharp accent.
EMOTIONAL RHYTHM-Emotional rhythm is
related to the succession of dramatic states
that a dance piece may have.
ELEMENTS OF RHYTHM
BEAT-The beat is the basic unit of a rhythmic measure used to determine
the time in both choreographic and musical language.
TEMPO-The tempo is a term borrowed from music but used with the same
meaning in dance.
ACCENT-Accent is the dominant beat of the music measure, usually the first
beat of the measure.
PHRASING-The phrasing is the fitting of dance steps
and figures to recurring patterns of music.
ELEMENTS OF RHYTHM
MEASURE- The measure is a sequence or unit of rhythm or a set of pulse
beats.
INTENSITY-Intensity is the relative force or strength; the depth of feeling or
concentration.
DANCE COUNT-The dance count specifies the sequence of steps and
whether one or two musical beats should be applied.
RHYTHMIC PATTERN IN DANCE
Three types of Rhythm Pattern
SINGLE RHYTHM- This is one step taken for two beats of music. The step is
taken on the first beat with an added tap (toe step), brush step, kick or
"hold" taken on the second beat.
DOUBLE RHYTHM-This is two steps taken on two beats of music, such as in
marching. In this rhythm pattern, the dancer starts with one foot and ends
with the opposite foot.
TRIPLE RHYTHM- This is three small steps taken
for two syncopated beats. Examples this is used
are the Samba and the Cha-Cha.
1979. Ann T. Kilbride and A. Algoso.
RHYTHMIC PATTERN IN DANCE
RHYTHM DIFFERENTIATED
RHYTHM FROM BEAT -Beat is the steady pulse underlying the music the
whole way through. The rhythm is the way the words go.
RHYTHM FROM RHYTHM-Rhythm is the regular recurrence of accented
and unaccented beats. Rhythms is a term which denotes an aspect of a
quality of movement that is sometimes thought of as dance.
RHYTHM IN MUSIC FROM RHYTHM IN DANCE-
Rhythm, in music, the placement of sounds in time.
Rhythm in Dance is a way to connect with Rhythm
through movement, dance and drumming.
RHYTHM DIFFERENTIATED
RHYTHM FROM TEMPO-Tempo is how fast or slow a piece of music is
performed, while rhythm is the placement of sounds in time, in a regular and
repeated pattern.
RHYTHM IN DANCE FROM RHYTHM IN POETRY-In dance, rhythm is the
timing of events on a human scale;Rhythm, in poetry, the patterned
recurrence, within a certain range of regularity, of specific
Language features, usually features of sound.
