About the Author: Anne C. Witt

Anne C. Witt

Anne C. Witt brings two decades of classroom experience and advanced training to her work in music education. She held leadership positions at the University of Texas at Arlington, where she taught strings and music education, and has served as Adjunct Professor of Music Education at the University of Alabama School of Music. Her presentation topics—creative classroom management, motivation, rhythm and intonation instruction—reflect deep engagement with the real challenges band and orchestra directors face daily.

Witt's credentials span conducting, composition, and pedagogical innovation. She served as President of both the Texas Orchestra Directors Association and the American String Teachers Association, guest conducted All-Region and All-State orchestras across Texas, and presented clinics at state and national conferences including the Midwest Clinic and MENC conventions. A professional cellist in the Austin Symphony for twenty years, she co-authored Teaching Stringed Instruments: A Course of Study and created A Rhythm a Week, a resource now used in school classes and private studios nationwide and internationally.

Why we love this

Witt's adaptation of Igor Hudadoff's proven method strips away everything students don't need and keeps what works. The systematic progression through 52 rhythm units in major and minor scales means your trumpet and baritone players spend rehearsal time on actual rhythmic patterns they'll encounter in repertoire, not abstract exercises. This resource pays for itself in rehearsal efficiency alone.

What to expect

Straightforward and purposeful. No fluff, no distractions—just a rhythm, a scale context, and the work to nail it. Students know exactly what they're practicing and why it matters to their playing.

Who it's for

Concert band trumpet and baritone players who struggle with common rhythmic figures or who benefit from focused, isolated practice on problem areas. The book works equally well in full rehearsals, sectionals, or private lessons with students who need targeted rhythm review.

How to get the most out of it

  • Work through one rhythm unit per rehearsal week so students absorb each pattern completely before moving ahead; consistent pacing prevents the resource from becoming a pile of sight-reading.
  • Have students perform the rhythms in unison across the section before applying them to their individual parts in repertoire; the collective sound reinforces confidence and locks in precision.
  • Rotate which student leads the section through each unit; ownership and accountability drive mastery faster than passive listening.

How to use it

Incorporate one rhythm unit into the warm-up routine at the start of each rehearsal week, beginning at the start of the school year. As students encounter these same rhythms in concert repertoire later in the season, they recognize familiar ground and execute with confidence. The systematic approach also makes it an excellent resource for summer practice assignments or fall auditions.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading common rhythmic patterns in major and minor keys
  • Executing syncopated figures with precision
  • Intonation and rhythm coordination within the section
  • Rhythmic accuracy at multiple tempos and subdivisions
