Tap Rhythms

 

Examples of musical styles in short measures. Played on solo piano to demonstrate most commonly used rhythms in basic form and played in a range of speeds. Also included are short examples of tacit, stop time, time signature and tempo changes. Ideal for students and teachers working towards major tap exams or for those wanting a better understanding of “rhythm” in dance.
