J. W. A. van Hulten

Studies in Rhythm for Alto Saxophone

Sometimes it can be quite difficult to play well, rhythmically speaking. To help you develop a good feel for rhythm, Jan van Hulten has written a number of appealing pieces with the attention especially focused on time signature and rhythm. The pieces gradually become more difficult. At the start they are straightforward, using the smallest note value of a quaver. Then, semiquavers, triplets and irregular time signatures follow. Finally, you will encounter all the different rhythms once again in a number of exercises, so that you will not forget them. All the pieces come accompanied by a live combo on the CD - to make your performances totally complete. The CD supports you in keeping strictly to the beat - and that is what Studies in Rhythm is all about.
