UW-RHYTHM

Rhythm, Avoid at Your Own Peril

The often neglected and taken for granted subject of "Rhythm". Music is Melody, Harmony, and "Rhythm." We are drawn, initially to music by melody at a very early age, with the instrument of our voice. With ukulele you typically learn chords - the harmony and never really dive into learning rhythm. Unless you're a drummer we take rhythm for granted.
