Timing on the Keyboard is Everything

Timing on the Keyboard is Everything!

Inside your head is a clock. I don’t mean the one that
makes you wake up at the same time every day. I mean
there’s a clock that can keep a steady beat.

The problem is that you may not have practiced letting it
command your hands so that THEY keep a steady beat.

In music, there is a beat or rhythm that keeps going
through a song. When you’re playing with other musicians,
it’s crucial that you all play to the same beat in order for
the music to sound ‘tight’ and intentional.
And normally, that takes some intentional practice.

The best way to do that is by listening to a steady beat
from outside your head. Fortunately, you aren’t the
first musician to have this need. That’s why someone
invented a neat little device called a ‘metronome.’

It’s a little box that clicks out a certain number of “beats-
per-minute” (you get to set that number at any speed you
like.) You can then begin playing your scales, or songs,
or exercises to that steady beat. It’s great training.
It begins to establish a good connection between the
‘clock in your head’ and your hands. Nothing will help
“tighten” your playing like drilling with a metronome.
