Why Should I Use A Metronome?

​As the saying goes, timing is everything.  This is especially true when playing a musical instrument.

There are many benefits to using a metronome.
  • Improve your timing.
  • It’s a way you can track your progress by knowing exactly the tempo that you are comfortable with.
  • It can help keep you from wanting to speed up and slow down during a song. Many of us have a tendency to speed up during loud sections and slow down during softer passages.
  • By starting with a slow tempo you can work out faster passages keeping them precise as you increase the tempo.  This will help you stay clean at faster tempos.

One of my favorite tricks with a metronome is to set it up so the click is on the 2 and 4 of a measure like a snare drum.  This can be challenging and will really help you find the groove.
​
I think that you will find that using a metronome is a fast way to improve your timing and feel which will really help you become a better player.

i've never used one and my timing is impeccable, but I can understand why this would be a useful tool for some of those with timing issues.
