I was teaching a family member to play piano. As a musician, I was shocked at how difficult it was for him to internalise rhythm. I gave him a simple exercise - I set a metronome to 74bpm and asked him to clap eighth notes, but it was hard for him to keep in time. I think it's probably really important that he learns how to get in the groove of a rhythm and at the very least be able to clap a 1:2 polyrhythm - if you could even call that a polyrhythm.
It would be nice if there were an app he could use to do just that - just tap along to a metronome, except I wouldn't need to be there. Is there anything out there like that? It doesn't need to be complex, he's a beginner.
