Rhythm Helper

Mastering 6/8 Time

  • 6/8 time can be tricky. This two-book series is here to help!
  • Both books each have 50 etudes with a teacher duet part.
    • Book One: introduces the notation and basic rhythms, advancing to syncopations
    • Book Two: introduces 16th notes (sextuplets) and touches on other meters (9/8, etc.)
  • Each etude connects to online sound files at RhythmHelper.com with three sound files for each duet:
    • (1) both parts equal volume
    • (2) student part featured
    • (3) teacher part featured.
  • This book can be used either for sight-reading practice or as a lesson supplement. Different instruments can play together in an ensemble setting.
