Скачать или смотреть September Practice Challenge: Day 28

I see many musicians practice with the metronome always on, and I think people do this because they think it will make them very steady. But it's actually doing the opposite, unfortunately. When the metronome is on, it is different areas of the brain that are active than when the metronome is off, and if you always practice with a metronome, those parts of the brain don't get to practice. And since you will never perform without a metronome, you therefore put yourself at a disadvantage.

So today I wanted to share ideas for how to use the metronome to actually improve your sense of pulse. You may find these exercises very challenging at first, which is normal. Stick with them and you'll find that your sense of rhythm and pulse become much stronger over time.
