Practice tip: for electric keyboard--use rhythm styles

Here's one big advantage electric keyboards have over acoustic pianos: the rhythm section! How do you make practice more fun and improve the steadiness in your tempo? Add a rhythm track while you practice.

Here are some tips on selecting the right rhythm track:

1) make sure the style matches the number of beats per measure. For example, a march is typically in four beats. A waltz is in three. A polka is in two. Many pop and euro beats are in four.
2) set the tempo according to what you want to accomplish: learning a piece for the first time=slower tempo, speed=start slow and keep increasing the tempo

Remember to have fun while you practice and don't fight the rhythm track, listen and let go!
