The Rhythm Trainer

What The Rhythm Trainer is

The Rhythm Trainer is a free web tool for learning and practicing rhythm. It offers two interactive exercise modes: in A Mode, you listen to a rhythm and click it in; in B Mode, you view a rhythm and select the sound that matches. Progress tracking helps learners follow their practice, and basic notation tools are included. At the end of a session, you can email your results to someone, such as a teacher, to show how you are doing. Some email systems block these messages. The site is accessible for free from all devices, though the maker says there is no Apple or Android app. Its Free website plan costs nothing. The site dates to 2007, which its maker describes as its beginning as the original rhythm trainer. The maker accepts PayPal donations to help cover hosting costs and welcomes comments, suggestions, and questions by email at [email protected].
