rapDo!

rapDo! is your digital rhythm coach. You don’t need an instrument and can learn and practice anytime, anywhere. You’ll learn rhythm like a language, using just five syllables. You start with simple rhythm "words" and progress to rhythm "sentences." This approach covers all possible rhythms found in classical music, pop, dance music, and jazz. rapDo! adapts to your progress: mastered rhythms are set aside, while challenging rhythms are repeated until you perfect them. At the same time, you’ll see how the spoken rhythms look in standard notation, allowing you to learn rhythm and sight-reading simultaneously. Learning with tonal syllables is a proven and globally recognized method. It is much faster and more effective than calculating with note values (quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, etc.). The rapDo! method is scientifically grounded. Its foundation is based on the groundbreaking teaching work Learning Sequences in Music by Edwin Gordon.
