Excerpt from Tone Thinking and Ear Testing: A Work That Directs the Student in Helping Himself to Develop Discriminative Hearing From the Simplest Beginning to Difficult Modulations and Chromatic Harmonies
Direct attention to and exaggerate the feeling of progress from the weak pulse to the strong, letting the voice connect "two-one," or "three-one" as though the weak and following strong were inseparable.
4. Clap the hands or make any movement that will help to acquire a physical sense of rhythmic accents. The writer uses the following movements, suggested by the Dalcroze system: For the strong pulse, drop the hands at the sides, letting the weight fall from the shoulder. This is valuable for any one who needs practice in relaxation, and especially so for pianists.
a. For the weak pulse, raise the hands above the head. As one should feel that the weak pulse progresses to the strong, this movement is very significant.
b. For a three-pulse measure, the arms may be raised to a horizontal position on the second pulse, then to the perpendicular position, a position always used for the weakest pulse of a measure, or bar, as some prefer to call it.
