Takadimi is a system devised by Richard Hoffman, William Pelto, and John W. White in 1996 in order to teach rhythm skills. Takadimi, while utilizing rhythmic symbols borrowed from classical South Indian carnatic music, differentiates itself from this method by focusing the syllables on meter and on western tonal rhythm. Takadimi is based on the use of specific syllables at certain places within a beat. Takadimi is used in classrooms from elementary level up through the collegiate level, and it meets National Content Standard 5 by teaching both reading and notating music. ==Development== Takadimi is similar to the Kodály Method, developed in 1935 in Hungary.〔(University of North Texas Digital Library )〕 Both systems can be traced back to the 19th century French Time-Names system.〔 Hoffman, Pelto, and White developed the system with certain goals in mind. As stated by the developers themselves: #It should lead to accuracy and musicality in performance, both studies and sight-read, including the ability to recognize and perform musical gesture. #It should require and reflect an understanding of rhythmic structure, recognition of metric and rhythmic interaction, and an awareness of precise contextual location of beats and at-tack points. #It should facilitate aural recognition and identification of rhythmic patterns and metric divisions. #It should provide a precise and consistent language for the discussion of temporal phenomena. There should be no need to create new terms or separate categories for performance, transcription, or analytical work. #It should address rhythmic issues presented by musics outside the realm of traditional tonal literature such as asymmetric meters, modulation of meter or tempo, complex syncopations, complex tuplet groupings, and passages that combine these in novel and challenging ways. #Like pitch solfège, it should be a system that is easily applied and adapts to broad applications, and it should be a tool for lifelong use.〔 Hoffman, Pelto, and White believe that they took the best from many existing systems and tweaked them together to form this system that best meets the goals they set for themselves. Of the systems they used as either inspiration or examples of unwanted attributes, three are mentioned in the journal where they first proposed their system in 1996: The Kodály Method, the McHose/Tibbs system, and Edwin Gordon's system.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Takadimi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
