Developing Your Band’s Groove: The Inner Game of Rhythm, a jazz clinic by Mike Titlebaum

“Developing Your Band’s Rhythm: The Inner Game of Groove“ is a jazz clinic given at the 2012 NYSSMA conference by Mike Titlebaum, director of jazz studies at Ithaca College. In this session, attendees practice rhythms with a metronome starting relatively simply, then getting progressively more complex. These exercises cen be modified for using with jazz groups of all ages. The slide containing all the rhythms (which you can project to use with your band) can be downloaded from:
