Why are tonal and rhythm content taught separately, in isolation from each other and from other musical elements?
Tonal and rhythm content in music are challenging enough to teach in isolation. Their interaction with each other—to form melody, for example—and other musical elements significantly compounds the complexity of the music teaching task. By spending some instructional time focusing on each separately, clarity is enhanced and confusion minimized.
