This site is really fantastic. It has videos to demonstrate and guide the student while they are practicing at home.

Use the following resources to be self-reliant, more confident, build your skills, and become a better musician:

Metronome - A metronome is a device used by musicians that marks time at a selected rate by giving a regular tick. It is important that students develop an ability to keep a steady beat.
