Flexible Time method is an educational journey that guides us through the three-dimensional world of rhythm created by the flexibility of time. For our trip, there are two maps available, and their selection is made depending on the needs and the means of transport of the traveller. The first map is FLEXIBLE TIME RHYTHMOLOGY and is aimed at all musicians, and the second map is FLEXIBLE TIME DRUMOLOGY and is aimed exclusively at drummers. So, pack into your luggage the chosen map with the study hours, go to your vehicle (instrument), and start your new journey experience.
Rhytmology
FLEXIBLE TIME RHYTHMOLOGY is intended to be a hands-on guide to all musicians interested to deepen
his/her knowledge in rhythm. The specific educational material is completed through two levels:
· At the first level, we use the FLEXIBLE TIME RHYTHMOLOGY book, which contains tables, examples and exercises across 38 pages accompanied by 38 corresponding audio files. The structure of the methodology in this book is divided into seven chapters dealing exclusively with Rhythmology. Its primary purpose is to build the basic foundations we need as musicians to feel comfortable with the concept of rhythm and understand that rhythm is our friend.
Flexible Time drum Methods
· At the second level, we have the FLEXIBLE TIME RHYTHMOLOGY courses, a series of online private lessons accompanied by educational material (pdf, audio). The structure of the courses is divided into three chapters. · In the first chapter, we find the subdivisions needed to reach our goal.
· In the second chapter, the rhythmic solfege and the combination of the rhythmic solfege with the corresponding subdivisions are analysed. · In the third chapter, we find the groupings and their association with the corresponding subdivisions.
Thus, having completed the material of both levels, we have achieved our final goal, which is to have all the necessary and important tools to enjoy the three-dimensional world of rhythm created by the elasticity of time. The rhythm is so much more than this.
Drumology
The FLEXIBLE TIME DRUMOLOGY is intended to be a guide to the hand of any drummer interested to
deepen the knowledge in rhythm and drumming skills. In the first level, we have the flexible time Drumology book, which containing tables, examples and exercises into 56 pages accompanied by 56 corresponding audio files. The structure of the methodology into the book is divided into nine chapters concerning Rhythmology and drumming skills.
Concept of rhythm
Its primary purpose is to build the basic foundations we need as drummers to feel comfortable with the concept of rhythm and acquire the necessary tools to develop our The first four chapters deep dive onto Rhythmology, and then four systems are provided that are necessary to develop our drumming skills. In the end, there is a chapter that is necessary to complete the first training level. At the second level, we have the FLEXIBLE TIME DRUMOLOGY courses that are a series of online private lessons accompanied by educational material (pdf, audio).
Combination of the rhythmic solfege
In the first chapter, we find the subdivisions needed to reach our goal. In the second chapter, the rhythmic solfege and the combination of the rhythmic solfege with corresponding subdivisions are analysed. Then we approach the four systems available in the book, discovering the effect caused by the action of the rhythmic solfege with its corresponding subdivisions, and concluding with a system where we meet the action of groupings and subdivisions.
As a result, having completed the educational material of both levels, we reach to our final goal and achieve our target, which is to have acquired all the necessary tools we need to enjoy through our drums the three dimensional world of rhythm created by the elasticity of time. The drums is so much more than this.
