Metronome

Post by nedrahej » Sat Oct 17, 2015 9:13 pm

I'm having trouble trying to listen to the metronome and play by ear instead of looking at the screen. When I play from paper I need to follow with the metronome and don't have the curser moving for me. Any advice how I can play with the metronome? I will continue to practice though.

Hi,

Would you mind elaborating on your the problem? So, you're having problems keeping the timing just right when playing by ear?

Yes, I have problems keeping time from sheet music, but when i don't play with the metronome i do a good job. With practice i learning to play with the metronome. In playground, I turn the volume up on the metronome and try to listen to that instead of just following the cursor.

Gotcha.

Yeah, that's something that will come with time and practice.
