Clear answers to questions that come up when you are practising and something will not sit right.

A practical method for counting and internalising 5/4, 7/8, 11/8 and other odd meters, by grouping them into small cells instead of counting to eleven.
Theory · 6 minAdditive meter: what 6-6-6-7 actually means
Additive meter builds a bar from unequal cells. Learn to read, count and programme groupings like 2+2+3 and 6-6-6-7, then hear how the cells lock together.
Theory · 5 minPolyrhythm vs polymeter: the difference, with examples
Polyrhythm divides one span of time in different ways. Polymeter runs different bar lengths over one pulse. Hear the difference and practise each one.
