For reading music it starts with the individual rhythmic syllables using the Modular Phonetic System, then the rhythmic pairs and finally longer rhythmic phrases.

This same approach applies when reading music - You don't read each particular note. First you start with the note and the individual modular phonetic rhythm syllables then its more words and sentences - the measures and phrases of music.
So whether it is learning strums, reading or writing music the Modular Phonetic approach is a break through in learning rhythm.

In the realm of music, there are certain aspects that students and players often tend to avoid.

With the appropriate guidance and a well-defined plan, mastering these skills can be a smooth and achievable process.
