How to find the 1
Listen for where a phrase starts, often a big horn hit or the singer's first word. Count 1 there and keep counting to 8. The instructor counts over the music until you hear it yourself.
Why it feels fast at first
Your brain is tracking feet, partner and music at once. As the basic becomes automatic, the same song starts to feel slower.
Questions people ask
Do you play slower songs for beginners?
Yes. Level 1 starts with easier tempos.
