Re: The Metronome Problem

Isn't it funny how metronomes will slow down during the fast spots? It's so natural to rush the 16th notes and so hard to keep them exactly in time. The metronome to keep you disciplined. There are good suggestions mentioned so far!

When playing with an ensemble you'll appreciate having practiced with a metronome at home. Nobody else knows your erratic pace and won't ever keep up with you. Things go better when everyone is playing at the same tempo.

My teacher used to say that his students found it easy to play things fast, but so difficult to play the same thing at a slower pace. While teaching I'd sometimes slow the metronome speed just to play with the students' minds. Lots of fun! They learned to do it, though.
