ALL INSTRS- VIRTUAL METRONOME_ To practise at different speeds- slow to start

[Admin]

PRACTISING with a METRONOME

Choose a SPEED up to 127 beats a secon in the LEFT small window

Choose a TIME SIGNATURE ( 2 beats a bar / 3 beats a bar or 4 beats a bar ) in the RIGHT WINDOW

The FIRST beat will flash RED the others GREEN

Choose a smallish part of your music and repeat it at a slower SPEED (called  tempo)  sleep like 60 then at 66 then at 72 etc ( increasing by about 6 at a time ( each speed about 3 times before moving on to the next part )

KEYBOARDS and DIGITAL PIANOS have these metronomes too  All metronomes have speeds up to 127- never underestimate

1) how helpful it is to practise SLOW and how hard it is to KEEP SLOW without using a metronome
2) how helpful it is to pracdtice only a few notes at a time
3) how helpful it is to REPEAT those few notes until one feels comofortable
4) to practice WITH a metronome to give you the confidence that ytoure playing in time - If you can play in time with a metronome you can play in time with other instruments too

• Generally a SLOWER song would play at around 60 to 84
• A MEDIUM paced song at about 84 to 108
• a FASTER song about 108 to 127
