On one of my son’s piano recitals on “parents night”, my son and I were performing a jazz/blues piano/guitar combo and I was tapping my foot.

My son's piano teacher looked confused and “ribbed” me about tapping my foot while playing guitar.

I looked at her and was confused about why she thought “tapping my foot” was strange!

LOL! Oh well.



Classical trained musicians usually don`t do that. I have a professional classical guitarist as a jazz student and he doesn`T tap his foot. I asked him why and he told me he was forbidden to do it, his teachis would get really angry if he did.
I told him he HAS to do it in my lessons! Its like the pulse. You just have to have something that keeps you rhythmically alive. If you don`t tap your foot, your head or at least one of your toes your rhythmically DEAD.
