Time Awareness - Vol. 1 | Go-Everywhere Exercises to Improve Your Sense of Time

During some years spent playing live gigs, practicing, rehearsing music and recording to click tracks I've noticed that one of the most under-estimated aspects of music still remains time awareness: it's incredible how many musicians (even some seasoned ones) still have trouble synchronizing to an external source, whether it's a drummer, a click track, a bass line or whatsoever. This short handout is a collection of helpful time awareness exercises gathered over the years. It is addressed to all musicians and its exercises can be practiced no matter what you have at your disposal: for most of them, your instrument won't even be necessary, since you will need just your voice, your hands and thighs. Hence the concept of GEEs: Go-Everywhere Exercises. I hope this exercises will help you out in building a stronger, solid rhythmic foundation in both your listening and playing. For now practice, and have fun!! Copyright © 2016 Gianpaolo Gallian. Some rights reserved.
