Play slower, play better: slow metronome exercises and guided relaxation for musicians and singers

Playing slowly can feel frustrating or even boring, but it’s one of the best ways to gain control over your technique and musicality. Many musicians forget to spend time on slow movements, leaving gaps in their practice that affect both fast and slow passages. In today’s video, I’ll guide you through a slow metronome exercise designed to help you feel secure at low tempos, subdivide beats, and develop a strong sense of rhythm. This practice works for instrumentalists, singers, drummers, and anyone wanting to refine their timing. You’ll also get a short guided meditation at the end to help settle your mind and body, leaving you ready for focused and creative practice.
