Re: Rhythm Practice

Hi mrtrpt,
What you have already said is basically what I do. One other thing that I find helpful is to clap the back beat and sing the rhythm. My best example because I'm an orchestral player is Petroushka. Take the dance solo and clap the back beat while singing the solo. I find two things when I do this. One, I'm not nearly as able to rush, and two it makes the solo so much more realxed, almost jazzy. It also turns everything around in an interesting way musically that you might not have thought of before.
I hope that's helpful.
Best,
Andrew
