The #1 challenge students are having with their LOA testing submissions is playing with a metronome... even the more advanced players. We "think" our timing is good until we play to with a metronome. Playing with a metronome trains us to make micro-adjustments every beat... tracking what we're playing and how it matches with other musicians... in this case a musician with perfect timing. So, if you're not already using the metronome as a daily practice tool, you're passing up an important training tool. Your tip today... use a metronome. More tips on how to use a metronome as the week goes on.
