Musically Yours, Kay

6/15/2022

June 15th, 2022

How can this innocent device cause so much angst?
Picture
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

W
hen 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!
