Do you have no sense of rhythm? Has someone told you that you have no sense of rhythm? Or do you sometimes wonder if you do?
Right off the bat, let me tell you that if someone said that to you, I know they are dead wrong. In the first place, I don’t believe that people can be so connected and drawn to music that they commit themselves to studying and learning an instrument for years without an innate sense of rhythm. Rhythm, like any other musical skill, is a subject that is studied intentionally in music schools. It’s not a topic that is merely left to chance with an “either you got it or you don’t” philosophy. The great Elvis Presley said, “Rhythm is something you either have or you don’t, but when you have it, you have it all over.” However, his meaning and our investigations into a sense of rhythm are somewhat different.
My point is that if you think you need to develop your sense of rhythm, you probably do; so do we all. A sense of rhythm is completely trainable. After all, we all live our entire lives with rhythm. Actually, we are rhythm - in our heartbeat, our pulse, our breath. Rhythm is as natural to us as breathing; in fact, it is breathing.
So why is it so hard? My observations have led me to the conclusion that although we have a sense of rhythm, we frequently don’t obey it. Even worse, we often actively ignore it. We actually choose not to play in rhythm. Our sense of rhythm is there; we just flip the switch and turn it off. It’s usually not intentional, and that’s the good news. All we have to do is find the switch to flip it back on, and it’s really not so difficult. All you have to do is believe and commit to one sentence, an attitude you need to adopt, at least for the duration of this podcast and, I hope, a lot longer.
