How to practise with a metronome
- Start slower than you think: slow enough to play it perfectly.
- Play the passage cleanly three times in a row.
- Add 4 BPM and repeat. The speed trainer can do this for you automatically.
- If it falls apart, drop back 8 BPM. Clean and slow beats fast and sloppy.
