Using Clarinet Metronomes

For expertvillage.com this is Mitch Kaplan. In this clip we will be talking about accessories. The first accessory that I would like to mention is the metronome. The old metronomes used to have the clicking thing that would go back and forth. We have soon learned that those weren’t a very good and accurate type of metronome, they tend to swing, if you were a jazz player it would be great, but if you are a classical player it is the pits, any ways we learned that we have a Seiko quartz type of metronome, and they like a watch keep more accurate time, and this has certainly kept on ticking as I dropped it several times. This keeps very accurate time, you can change it, the different pulses and it is pretty loud, and it has the place for an earphone; these are very highly recommended, and if you are playing at night, you can still maintain the light, but not the sound, because that would drive your wife pretty crazy. This also incorporates the A440 much as what the other one did. We tune up to the A440 for different reasons, then we also have the different all in one type of kind of contraption where it has a tuner, it also has a metronome and it also calibrates your tone. Here is an example of the metronome… as you can hear it has a different sound on beat 1…, one, two, three, one, two, three, there you go. And it also has a fancy dial thing that goes back and forth like the old one, except this is a little more accurate, of course we also have the A440, and there you have it, the metronome.
