1. 3. Now subdivide the beat in 2 so you’re now playing 8 th. 4. When comfortable with 8 th notes, subdivide the beat in 3 so you’re playing 8 th note triplets.. 5. Go up like this all the way to 8 notes per beat, 32 nd Now go back down.. What you play in this exercise is rhythmically restricted as you have to stick with a particular subdivision of the beat.

2. Once again, halve the metronome, e.g. 40bpm – 20bpm. You’re now only hearing the metronome on beat 1 of each bar. Continue playing as previously. You’ll notice that the role of the metronome has now changed. It is no longer keeping you in time, it is telling you whether you’re playing in time. The process can be repeated, e.g. 20bpm.

3. A metronome is a device that clicks in steady rhythm to help you practice your rhythm and time-keeping. Older versions were a vertical wooden case with a metal wand that swung back and forth. You had to wind them up to go. How quaint! Nowadays, you can buy electric/electronic metronomes, or even metronome apps, that [ ].

8. Most music is written in 4/4 so four metronome clicks would represent a single bar of music/chord changes. Some metronomes actually let you accent every fourth pulse - this would represent the downbeat of each measure, but it is an often-distracting feature that can be very troublesome for beginners, especially if you have a tendency to get out.
