Record Yourself: Work on your Rhythm... Work with a Metronome - Part 5

One of the required tools in your practice room is a recorder... one that you can easily record with and quickly listen back to for immediate feedback. When listening back to your recording you're freed from the act of playing, allowing you to focus 100% on your performance... rhythm, technique, articulation, tone, etc. Listening intently to your rhythmic performance relative to the metronome will clarify where you're speeding up and slowing down so that you can adjust accordingly.
