Ritmo has two parts. One helps you gain fluency in following tempos and their changes without relying exclusively on the metronome; the other is for practicing the reading and reproduction of rhythms.
Keep the beat. With the metronome in your ear, it's easy to follow the tempo without really internalizing it. Here you pick a rhythmic pattern —by hand or following a progression of levels— and absorb it with graded cues that are alternatives to the traditional metronome: a baton with the starting tempo, a ball, or a tape that shows the spacing of the beats. With those cues as support, you tap it yourself: on the keyboard, by touching the screen, by clapping, or with your own instrument. It also includes tempo and time-signature changes, with a scrolling staff that anticipates them like a real reading.
Read the rhythm. You work with real rhythms taken from the repertoire, with their rests, ties, and irregular groups. You see them on the score, hear them, and repeat them from memory or while reading, with aids you can gradually withdraw: score, reference audio, and a visual or audible metronome. Exercises are organized in levels, and you can also choose which works or themes the rhythms come from.
In both parts, when you finish a report tells you how accurate you were, and each session is saved so you can see your progress.
Choose a pattern by hand, or train by following a level progression.
A baton (with a starting tempo), a ball, a traditional metronome, or a tape that shows the spacing of the beats, so you internalize the tempo instead of relying on a single kind of reference.
With the keyboard, a tap on screen, a clap, or your own instrument.
With a scrolling staff that anticipates the changes, like real sight-reading.
Exercises with rhythms from real repertoire: rests, ties, and irregular groups such as triplets and quintuplets.
You see the score, hear the rhythm, and reproduce it with the keyboard, the screen, a clap, or your instrument.
Score, reference audio, and a visual or audible metronome, switched on or off depending on the level.
A progression of levels, with the option to choose which works or themes the rhythms come from.
When you finish, an analysis of how closely you matched the pattern.
