The ability to keep time internally is the goal, and by placing the metronome on beats 2 &amp; 4 of a bar, like jazz does, will help with this. It forces you to always be aware of the tempo, and really highlights any rushing or dragging of the beat. The<\/p>\n<p>Use a metronome on slow speeds, as in essence you are doubling its tempo &#8211; 50 bpm (2 &amp; 4) = 100 (quarter notes)<\/p>\n<h3>Other Info<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: This study is based on a half time Samba rhythm and feel, so you need to really practice those off beats and the placement.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Secret<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Know where the beats land<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Know exactly which beats land on and with the metronome click, and which push against it, like the off beats.
