    I just got emails from someone looking for guitar lessons, I assume they found my email address from this thread, and they turned out to be a well known scammer.

    I woud advise everyone to check this site, and google their email address, especially if you have gotten any strange emails about any adverts you've posted online.

    Rhythm is an essential ingredient of music. A musician must know how to create alluring tunes and must possess the sense of rhythm.

    A pianist can play the right keys but if the timing is not right, then music can be meaningless and unpleasant to the ear.

    Here are a few ways to keep steady rhythms:

    1. Loud counts!
    Another way in learning rhythm and keeping track of it is counting out loud. Counting loudly makes our minds comprehend the rhythm pattern and it is imprinted in our minds. If a pianist begins to count the rhythm in a musical composition from one to four and then repeats it again and again, then the rhythm begins to flow into the keys of the piano, as well. A pianist can relate the notes to the beats, in the music scores, easily, when he/she keeps count of the beats.


    2. Clap, Tap, catch rhythm!

    A person can grasp the intricate musical rhythms by clapping one's hands, clapping on one's laps and by tapping one's feet. This is an effective way in learning rhythm. Sometimes the rhythm in a song, changes in the middle of the song. This can be challenging but a pianist or a musician can get back in rhythm by clapping or
    tapping. When one plays on complicated music composition, one can take some time to clap and get back one's rhythm and timing.

    3. Imaginary piano!

    To get accustomed to the rhythms, playing on an imaginary piano is of immense help. A piano player can select a song and then play an imaginary piano. The rhythms can be played on an imaginary piano. This exercise allows a pianist to understand musical rhythm patterns better. A pianist who has learnt the art of playing on an imaginary piano can grasp the beats, even if the music slows down or speeds up and he can play on time.

    4. Rhythm Accompaniment/Metronome
    Do you have a keyboard that comes with rhythm accompaniment?
    This is no doubt one of the best way to keep a piano player rhythmically straight!
    You are probably aware that most piano player are solo player.
    We don't get to play in a band or an orchestra. The best way to imitate an ensemble setting is by using a rhythm accompaniment tool.

    I am an experienced, methodical, and patient teacher.

    All levels and ages are welcome.

    I can prepare students for RIAM grade exams, or simply build up a solid technique and knowledge of theory on the saxophone.

    The first lesson is always free.

    Lessons can be arranged in my own home or the student's, if they live locally.

    I can teach improvisation to musicians who are already proficient on their instrument but would like to learn how to play jazz. I have also been trained in classical and trad music, and students with a background in these styles are particularly welcome.

    About me:
    I am a saxophonist based in South Dublin, (Blackrock/Stillorgan) who has studied with masters such as Grammy-nominated Ravi Coltrane and Donny McCaslin. I have played in the Southbank Centre, London, the National Concert Hall, and other major venues in Dublin. I am experienced in many styles, and have recently been found playing Traditional Irish/North Indian fusion, French techno with live DJs, in addition to my usual classical/jazz/funk gigs.
