Don't know about you, but I've always found the connection between language and rhythm fascinating. Words have their own inherent rhythms (i.e. syllables) that we can use to string together rhythmic passages / phrases. Without wanting to go into detail, there are some fantastic articles and research papers out there that discuss this in great depth.
That said, personally, I find this type of thing really useful when both teaching students as well as trying to learn new things myself. I'm a big fan of using insects as a rhythmic syllabic aid, because it's not only memorable, but also fun and visual.
My latest blog is about using insects to help read, but also remember rhythms, in the form of a game. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the blog, and if you found it insightful.
