Takadimi is a rhythm-pedagogy system, intended to teach rhythmic concepts in Western music to students of all ages. It was developed by Richard Hoffman, William Pelto, and John W. White.
Overview
[edit]In both simple and compound meter, the pulse is given the syllable "ta".
In simple meter, the pulse is further broken into "ta-ka-di-mi". In compound meter, the pulse is broken into "ta-va-ki-di-da-ma".
Observe that both rhythmic patterns are compatible; they both begin with "ta", and the middle syllable is "di".
