Funk Rhythm Training 2

In this lesson, we will examine and discuss the concept of upbeats and downbeats. Then, students will work on a variety of rhythmic exercises using a drum track, eventually learning to play a simple chord progression where the focus is on rhythm-reading. Lastly, students will be introduced to a “rhythm chart,” and you will learn what it is, how to read it, and why it is used.
