This guide that accompanies this 20-minute rhythm workout outlines the core method: synchronising stepping, clapping, and vocalising to build internal rhythm. You'll progress through pulse work, subdivisions, syncopation, and polyrhythms using an African-inspired marching step. Practice in a quiet space with a metronome and notebook. Work at your own pace—pause and break down sections as needed. These principles form the foundation for all our rhythm training.

A deeper dive into the Triangle of Inner Pulse Method which combines stepping, clapping, and vocalising to develop internal rhythm and groove. Drawing from West African traditions, this foundational training moves beyond metronome-based learning to embody pulse, subdivisions, and syncopation through coordinated body movement, creating confident musical expression from the inside out.
