BACK COVER

"The Big Metronome" is part of a series of books which are designed to show the student how to develop a better internal sense of time. This is accomplished by requiring the student to "feel time" as opposed to relying on the steady click of a metronome. "The Big Metronome" is filled with exercises and comes with 3 CDs to play along with these exercises. Each CD contains 13 tracks which correspond to the metronome markings found on a traditional metronome. Each track gives you a two bar count off and then a click every measure, two measures or four measures. As this pulse happens at wider and wider periods of time it requires the student to rely more and more on their own internal sense of time. This book is a required text at both New York University and Princeton University.
