What is Rhythm and Rhyme?
Music has been one of the driving forces in how I came to this link between rhythm, rhyme and us as humans. Through my work with integrating music with therapy and utilizing music and song lyrics, I see how songs can cut to an emotion or an experience in ways that words may have a harder time with. When I think of the relationship between rhythm and rhyme, I think of a song and how it relates to an individual person. Rhythm is our emotion (how we experience and feel), while rhyme is our intellect (what we say and express). If rhythm and rhyme are not in sync, you get a song that is difficult to hear.
I’ve experienced music where I loved the rhythm of the beat, but struggled with the lyrics, or I’ve loved the lyrics, but struggled with the rhythm it was paired with. My hope in our work in therapy is to find the perfect balance between your rhythm and your rhyme, thereby creating a beautiful song.
