John McLaughlin: The Gateway to Rhythm (Konokol)

About this method:
Of course, if you do it once in your life, it will not cause any damage.

But, you must know other points of view, that is just it, 'DEVON LOCH' if you don't like these points.
Nothing against other cultures, but this way of adding words to the rhythms is absurdly primitive.
I really advise young people who are beginning to study music that never use these methods for ocidental music, because it causes more problems than solutions, think with me, the rhythm should be understood as the philosopher Kanti understood, as something pure and absolute, the rhythm itself Only, and do not attribute metaphors to something that has its own life as the rhythm itself.

For years I have observed music students in academies, music schools and university, one of the things I realized is that singers never develop the bases of rhythm and also melodic intervals, singers waste a lot of time to sing in tune and forget to distribute the time to others Tasks, the same I noticed in the student of bass and guitars, they want more to play the songs of the moment, they do not want to read and or to learn what they still call 'theory' of the music, as that the years pass and they get full of problems, Having rhythmic difficulties and mainly of harmony, and for those who do not know, to understand harmony, is definitely not to know how to interpret chords with letters with that lot of numbers.

I advise young people to look for Paul Hindemith's rhythmic method and who has developed one of the most perfect methodologies for learning rhythms independency without having to use words over rhythms that are true anti-musical crutches.

At the turn of the century all teachers observed that the students who came from Paul Hindemith's methodology did anything, had no difficulties in rhythms, especially percussionists and drummers, for conductors and maestros, 'Hindemith' gives Much more security.
By the way, Paul Hindemith was a university professor, composer, violinist and a tremedous Maestro.
