A practice future?

It's been a bit quiet here at HTP lately, don't worry we're not going anywhere Smile We've just been giving some thought to the direction the site should take in the future.

Since we began this site in 2006 there have been some fundamental changes to the way that people digest information online. Back then no one had even heard of facebook or twitter and interactive content was very limited. Fast forward to 2011 and we have the ability to develop highly interactive sites that are available on a multitude of devices from anywhere.

These factors are all in our thinking as we move forward with the site. Whilst we work on new functionality and ideas you can still access all our great content and buy our fantastic Music Practice Diary.

If you have any ideas for great content, new features or practice aids that you'd like to see we'd love to hear about them in the comments below.

Enjoy your practice!

Keeping time with your Foot

I have been playing for sometime, but am now having to focus on timing as I am playing with others. I play a banjo and the as the speed of my rolls increase so does my foot tapping. How do I train myself to keep a constant pace (timing) with my foot while my fingers are speeding along. I have tried an in the ear metronome, but I think I am a more visual person when it comes to sensing rythym. Does anyone have some experience with this problem that could help me??
