My son is 14 years old, has been playing piano and French horn for several years. I have just realized that he has difficulty reading dotted note rhythms. I play piano, fairly proficiently, and I've tried to work with him on this and I have found that he just doesn't "see" it. One he hears it, he can immitate it quickly. Is there a way to help him recognize a certain rhythm?

I'm curious as to what methods or articles have been written on teaching methods for music. He has always done well in school (all A's, couple B's consistently through the years). He just said to me recently though that he is a "slow reader".

Thank you for any comments, advice, links.etc.
