A Scholarly Article by Kevin Tuck
Written way back in 1995 when I was at university, this paper explores an Aural developmental approach to percussion education. It talks about the use of "Audiation" - what this is and what it means, and the development of some students when audiation is undertaken in the learning of a particular rhythm.
Warning - this article is not an "easy read" like some of the others - It is written in a much more academic style!

A Scholarly Article by Kevin Tuck
This is another scholarly paper, written as part of my extended study in Music Education. This article looks at various approaches of teaching Rhythm, from Orff to Kodaly, Suzuki and Dalcrose. The use of Nmemonics as a teaching tool, as well as counting, metronomes and lots of other devices are discussed.
