Beginner guide

Fix your timing with a simple rhythm routine

Short drills, slow tempo, and feedback are the fastest way to make songs sound clean.

5-step rhythm practice

1

Clap or tap the beat

Count out loud and lock into the pulse before playing.

2

Loop two bars slowly

Pick a tiny section and repeat it until it feels effortless.

3

Increase tempo in small steps

Raise 5–10 BPM at a time only when it feels stable.

4

Check timing accuracy

Use Keyloro or a recording to spot early or late notes.

5

Finish with a clean run

Play once at your best tempo to reinforce accuracy.
