Winning Rhythms is great!

When I was a young student, my piano teacher introduced me to this book to help with learning rhythm and timing. Over the past 5 years, I have now used it for my own students. It can be taught using instruments or just clapping. The way I use it is to have the students clap, but use different hand gestures with the clapping to indicate the different notes, rests, etc. The students don't always enjoy the excercises (I know I didn't), but in the long run, it is a very useful tool in teaching the instinctive use of rhythm!
