The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

Metronomes:which is the best to buy?

on: September 16, 2012, 12:25:48 PM

Good afternoon everyone,

I am a piano teacher and finding that a lot of my students now really need to buy a metronome. I wondered if any teacher has any suggestions on the best one (a cheap one that works well. I know that is easy to say but hard to find) that I should suggest my students buy.

Many thanks in advance!

I use Matrix MR500. I personally don't recommend buying a pendulum since they don't keep a steady beat.

I don't know if it is the best one but I use a Korg electronic metronome. It's light, accurate, it has a nice screen and it's ridiculously cheap. I prefer it to my Wittner mechanical device.

Ditto to electronic metronomes. Cheap, highly accurate, portable, blinking lights instead of annoying ticks.
