Ack - the dreaded metronome! Your teacher is sure to suggest you use one. Actually, I'm not sure if anyone REALLY likes playing with a tick tick tick tick in the foreground. However, the metronome is uber-helpful, as it forces you to play in time accurately (that is, if you obey the metronome). Our ear is very forgiving when we practice. We mess up a tad in this measure, and we overlook it. Our tempo isn't steady throughout the WHOLE piece, and everyone can hear the problem ... except us. Obeying the metronome during practice will ensure perfect, even rhythm and tempo, resulting in fluid playing. Only when we discipline ourselves to this sort of practice, will our music be truly free when we take away the tick of the metronome.

What type of music makes you sing (or dance)? Not everyone responds to the same music in the same way. Play a Beethoven sonata, and some might feel their soul lifted to heaven, while others may check the time again and again, wondering when in the world is this ever going to end, already?!!
Point being - find what music jazzes you and play it! Disclaimer: if you are going to study music on the university level, you are going to need to learn to play all the different genres of music, not just one or two - although when you graduate, you're free to specialize in only one style if that's your preference. |
