Metronome work:
If you do not have a metronome go to www.metronomeonline.com
Start practicing 20 less than indicated. Play two or three speeds daily.
If there are any hesitations or mistakes do unit practice on those spots and drop down a speed or two.
Do not speed up until it is easy and accurate. If the final speeds seem slow that is ok.
We are working on consistent tempo control now. Speed is not hard for us!
