Authors Anne Hall and Timothy Urban provide students over 300 one- and two-part rhythmic studies, each with short preliminary exercises, that are intended to be sung, spoken, and tapped or clapped. TheFourth Edition offers fresh examples from the standard repertory as well as new material on structured improvisation.
