How to Create Time with Your Metronome

Most of us think of the metronome as a tool to help us keep a steady beat or to get a piece up to tempo. It pushes us to play faster or correct us when our rhythm is uneven. We struggle to stick with the click. No doubt the metronome is a very useful tool, but it’s not surprising that many of us don’t think of the metronome as our friend.

This Week in Base Camp

Weekly Challenge: Metronome Madness


Set your metronome to 80. Play a simple one-hand scale matching each note to one click of the metronome. Play the same scale again but this time play 2 notes for each click (as if your notes were eighth notes to a quarter note metronome click). Play the scale again with 4 notes to each click (like 16th notes). Then play the scale once more with one note for every two clicks (this will be very slow, as if you were playing half notes). Complete the challenge by posting which was easiest to play and which was hardest. For an extra challenge, do this exercise with a 4 measure part from one of your pieces.


Wednesday Tip: Plan to Practice

You plan lots of other things, why not plan your practice? This quick tip from Candace talks about the importance of having a plan and how it can impact your harp playing as a whole.

 

Weekend Warmup: Double Trouble

This is a simple drill, at least when you play it hands separately. But when each hand is playing the same notes at a different speed, you get a warm up for your brain as well as your fingers. Happy Weekend Warm Up!
