6/15/2022 June 15th, 2022How can this innocent device cause so much angst?  I get two different reactions when working on the metronome with my students.
Number 1 Before I say anything, this student will ask me, "Can I use the metronome, please!” These students are friends with the metronome! Number 2 When I ask this student to pull out their metronome, all I get is “UGH!” or a heavy sigh. These students are fighting against the foe! Why the two reactions? Some students naturally sync with a metronome, but that is not the norm. The majority of students need to practice playing with the metronome. The student has to hone this skill through time and tenacity, and I guarantee this endeavor will produce excellent fruit in your music playing. Don’t ever give up!
