speaking of deficiencies in dealing with pitch, and to what
extent it's correctable, etc.
How about rhythm impairment? I know people who have great
voices, and in some circumstances can sing in rhythm, but
when singing solo-with-piano, seem to have an inability, or
maybe a block, to maintain a rhythmic pulse.
And at church, at the family service, when we have the
occasional "clap along", I observe adults who can't clap in
time - who clap randomly. My brother-in-law is a little
like that. He can only clap in time if he looks at me (for
example) clapping in time. But he can't seem to clap in
time with purely aural feedback. He can't dance, either,
which is tough on my sister, who loves to dance.
As for me, I have good rhythm, and when I'm in the presence
of poor rhythm, it hurts me physically. I'd rather hear
out-of-tune singing than unrhythmic singing.
What do you think, and what has worked in correcting this
sort of problem with singers?
