Teaching Diary - Practice of complex rhythm

How to deal with complex rhythmic patterns?

It is so common to encounter syncopation or irregular rhythm when practice, especially in pop music. Recently, one of the students wants to study Yoasobi's song. It is difficult for her to read the irregular rhythm and notes at the same time. Therefore, we clap the rhythm of both hands and figure out the groove first and read the notes afterwards. She found more confident after that.
