The organisation that is behind Song Rhythm Tracks
Yes! They are for All Musicians! New Musicians; Experienced Musicians; Great Musicians! https://alivedrumming.com/hrf_faq/alive-drumming-songform-rhythm-tracks/ Really, any musician at all that plays songs or 'numbers' - Pianists, Guitarists, Horn Players, Singers and even Drummers. You will love the experience and the benefit to practice, jamming and gigging.
Here are my views on how to go about practicing and jamming.
This is such an important part of the journey of becoming a musician. I wrote this down for the benefit of a musician just setting out on his journey, wanting to know what the key things were that would determine their success. I know I certainly did not go about it the right way for many years. I had not had any musical education as a child, but as an adult when learning music for the first time, had the benefit of a private teacher but never really addressed this important issue.
If you are learning a new, perhaps challenging, melody for the first time, in private practice, then sure, do count out the meter and use a metronome /

Song form is the concept that every song has been composed around a musical form or structure. Popular song often chooses simple forms as a basis but forms can be more complex as well.
