How to Improve Your Timing as a Musician
Better timing comes from developing a strong relationship between the main pulse, internal subdivision and physical performance.
Do Not Only Follow the Metronome
Use the click as a reference while continuing to feel the space between clicks.
Subdivide Internally
Hearing smaller rhythmic divisions creates more accurate reference points.
Practice Slowly
Slower tempos make timing inconsistencies easier to hear and correct.
Record and Compare Repetitions
Consistency across multiple repetitions is more useful than one perfect attempt.
