Practice Tips
How to Practice With a Metronome
Start slow
Pick a tempo where you can play the passage perfectly, even if it feels too slow. Clean and steady beats fast and messy.
Speed up in small steps
Once it’s easy, add 2 to 5 BPM. The Speed Trainer can do this for you automatically every few bars.
Count out loud
Try counting “1, 2, 3, 4” with the clicks before you play. Subdivisions like “1 and 2 and” help with tricky rhythms.
