It’s like learning to ride a bike – the more you practice, the more natural it will feel. If you get off the click, stop it and try again next time. Instead, just try using it during a rehearsal. Don’t feel pressure to use it this Sunday morning. It’s important that you give you and your band grace as you begin to learn to play to a click. It’s very normal to get off the click when you first try it. If everyone is worried about staying in time together, the last thing they will be thinking about is dynamics.Īnother reason band members may resist the click is because they are afraid of what will happen if they get off it. I’d rather have my band playing in consistent time together, and give them more freedom to focus on the dynamics (volume, feel, sensitivity) of their individual parts. However, flowing dynamically is much better than flowing in tempo. Some musicians may push back because they don’t want to be “trapped” and want the music to “flow” more. It’s time to give your foot-stomping timekeeper a break and let a click track do the work.Ĭonvincing your band to start using a click may be a challenge. We’ve all experienced the dragging feeling when a fast song unexpectedly transforms into a slow ballad by the end. Without a click, everyone in the band begins to play at their own tempo – which will make your band sound muddy and disconnected. The click track is the glue that keeps your band together. Once you are comfortable playing along, the click sound will fade into the background and you’ll wonder why you didn’t use it before. Playing with a click doesn’t need to be that way. Maybe you remember feeling that you weren’t able to fully enjoy the music because you were so focused on the metronome. Some of you probably haven’t heard a metronome since your last piano lesson when you were nine-years old. I’m convinced that the number one thing you can do to enhance the sound and professionalism of your band is to play with a metronome (also known as a “click track”). These small things can make huge differences. Like when your band members actually listen to the new song before rehearsal, or when the charts are printed off in the eact key and arrangement of the song. Sometimes the simplest thing can make all the difference. Published by Loop Community on ApApril 5, 2019
