I would think that the Q stands for quarter note, and the H stands for half note. Not Helpful 3 Helpful It depends on how fast the part is. If you play one note per beat, that means every note you play is a quarter note. If you play two notes per beat, that means you are playing eighth notes.
There is no wrong way. Not Helpful 9 Helpful If you are using a wind-up metronome, you just need to wind it so it keeps running.

It didn't occur to me that the metronome could actually be annoying. The ones used when I played before were the triangle ones that only made one sound.
They were soothing. I will be sure to look out for this. Rated this article:. More reader stories Hide reader stories. Did this article help you? You are effectively changing the long notes in technique number 2 to short notes, and the short notes in technique number 2 to long notes. This last technique is an advanced metronome technique that can be used to practice difficult passages as well as scales. Begin by setting your metronome to 40 bpm.
Play through the passage slowly at 40 bpm without making any mistakes. When you feel comfortable with the passage at this speed, we will use a technique called phasing to shift the timing of the notes in the passage as you practice them. When you can comfortably play through the passage at 40 bpm beginning on the downbeat, begin the passage again, however, this time start the FIRST note of the passage one sixteenth note later than written in the score.
When you can comfortably play through the passage this way begin again, but this time shift the first note of the passage two sixteenth notes later than written in the score. Finally, when you can comfortably play through the passage this way begin once more, but this time shift the first note of the passage three sixteenth notes later than written in the score.
If you can complete all four of these permutations, you will have practiced all the different rhythmic variations phasing can offer and will not only have a better technical grasp on the passage but a better musical understanding of where your big beats fall in relation to the notes.
These techniques may sound challenging, but by practicing through them slowly and incorporating them into your daily routine you will find yourself improving by leaps and bounds!
As I always tell my students: practicing a difficult passage for ten minutes with a metronome is better than practicing it for one hour without a metronome! TAGS : metronome. For example, if the shortest note value is a sixteenth note then practice the passage so that every sixteenth note receives one beat, every eighth note receives two beats, every quarter note receives four beats, etc… If the shortest note value is an eighth note, then practice through the passage so that every eighth note receives one beat, every quarter note receives two beats, etc… After you have played through the passage without any mistakes and without any tension in your playing, increase the metronome speed by five clicks and repeat the process.
Here is how: When you have pushed your metronome to its max bpm, you can re-set your metronome back to 60 bpm, and again play through the passage with the same rhythmic feel, however, this time you will alternate between giving each note one and a half beats, and half of a beat.
