The Elements of Rhythm Volume II, Relative Notation and Counting Syllables, is the essential companion to The Elements of Rhythm Volume I, 2n: Binary Theory and Creation of the Fundamental Rhythm Patterns.Volume II contains comprehensive Counting Syllable Tables for all of the fundamental patterns presented in Volume I. The patterns are printed on multi-music staves, allowing the reader to see identically-sounding rhythms in various meter contexts. This helps "decondition" the reader from always expecting to count notation in a certain way, improving their overall ability to read and understand complex rhythms.
