A BIG METRONOME: Time Development Studies

by Bruce E. Arnold

"The Big Metronome" is a must own for all bassists and drummers.  This book is part of a series of books which are designed to teach a student:

1.  How to develop a better internal sense of time.
2.  Feel music on a more macro level.
3.  Develop an innate sense of musical form.
4.  Develop a more natural feel that breathes with the music.

All this is accomplished by requiring the student to "feel time" not "count time."  "The Big Metronome" is filled with numerous exercises and comes with 3 CDs to play along with each exercise. 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.  The 3 CDs for this book could not contain all metronome markings with a click for either every measure, two measure and four measures.   This would be way more than 3 CDs. Additional audio files are available in the form of MP3 audio downloads.  There are various packages depending on your needs including the  "Big Metronome Bundle 1" which contains over 45 hours of MP3s with every traditional metronome marking with every macro beat up to 8.  This is a huge resource to use as an addition to this book.
