It will help you to learn the conducting pattern for the various time signatures. Google this topic or just look at the one listed below. Stick with 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 and 6/8 at first. The most important beat is of couse beat one. Don't be ashamed to sit and just listen to the rest of the ensemble, particulary during the first read through. And if you can find recordings of the music y'all are playing, watch/listen to them with the music. Your conductor may have ones to recomend, look at the JW Pepper web site or just find them on youtube.

Or download a metronome for your iphone or smartphone for free.Look at the reviews to choose the best one. You can buy a better or different one later as you advance.
