A sense of rhythm is needed not only for a musician or a ballerina. Much in human life obeys a certain rhythm. For example, there are some types of work, the performance of which requires rhythmic actions from all participants. There are very few people in the world who would not possess this quality at all, it is just that sufficient attention is not always paid to it. A sense of rhythm in yourself can be developed.

- - musical recordings;
- - player;
- - a computer with sound programs;

Instructions
Step 1
Start by reading poetry. Choose something from the classics, rhymed and with a clear rhythm. You can think of a poem that you once learned in school. Read it out loud, placing emphasis clearly and listening carefully to your voice.
Step 2
Read the poem again by tapping your wand on the table. On the stressed syllable, make the hit louder, on the unstressed one - quieter. Try reading the same passage to yourself, tapping out the rhythm in the same way.
Step 3
When you feel that the tapping matches exactly the alternation of syllables, leave the poem alone and just tap the rhythm. Clap your hands. If you are in doubt about your success, ask someone at home for help. Read a poem to him and then clap.
Step 4
Find a song you know well in the library. While singing along with the performer, tap out the rhythm in the same way as you did with the poem. Then repeat by turning off the sound. You can control yourself by recording what you get in one of the sound programs. At the same time, try to sing to yourself so that only the rhythm remains on the phonogram. Compare the result with the recording of the song. Repeat the experiment with other songs as needed.
Step 5
Change the "tools" periodically. Rattles, wooden spoons, a matchbox, a jar of peas, and more will do. A tin can can make a great drum. If you have one, you will also find many suitable items in the children's toy box.
Step 6
Invite someone at home to play. You will be tapping out the rhythm, and he must guess which song you tapped. It is best to do these exercises with one of the children. They will also bring tangible benefits to them. Choose only melodies that are well known to all participants.
Step 7
The rhythm must be felt not only with the ears, but also with the whole body. After you learn how to tap it well, try to stomp to the music. You can take not only a song, but an instrumental melody with a clear rhythm. Trample, noting beats and unstressed beats.
Step 8
Gymnastics classes with music can be very beneficial. If it is not possible to enroll in the aerobics section, do the exercises at home. You can find exercises on CDs or videos on the Internet. The video will speed up the process significantly. Try to keep your movements exactly the same as those performed by the coach. In doing so, do not forget to listen to the music.
Step 9
Try to dance more often. If you are shy, choose a time when no one is home. Some secrecy in this matter can bring them, and you, in the future, a pleasant discovery. One day you will simply surprise them.
