How to practice with a metronome
- Choose a tempo where you can play the exercise perfectly — even if it feels very slow.
- Each click is one beat. The first beat of the bar is accented so you always know where “1” is. Press the space bar to start and stop.
- Use subdivisions (2× for eighth notes, 4× for sixteenths) to hear the notes between beats.
- Use tap tempo to find the speed of a song: tap along with the beat a few times.
