Instructions
-
- 1 Put on one of your favorite moderate or slow tempo songs. Choose music with a steady beat. Music with an irregular beat is very difficult to adjust to.
- 2 Listen for a moment and focus on predicting exactly when each beat will come in the music.
- 3 Identify the first beat, which is always the heaviest, as a starting point for your counting. Most of the time you can count 1, 2, 3 and 4 with the music, although some only have three beats.
- 4 Take small steps in place to the beat, much like a marching band member. Beginning with the first beat, your foot should hit the ground right on the beat
- 5 Clap your hands once between footfalls. After you have mastered placing the clap exactly between footfalls, try clapping twice, or even three times between steps.
- 6 Imitate the rhythms of some songs you know using the step-and-clap system you have just practiced.
