> Keeping A Steady Pulse When Playing

I have various strengths in flute playing, but I have one major weakness, I find it really hard to keep a steady tempo, I tend to go faster and faster. I am better than I was, but any tips for keeping a steady pulse, especially in sight reading etc?

I feel stupid though - I've been playing for years, I should be able to do this!

Thanks!

If you EVER get a chance to do some Dalcroze, Nicki, this will really help as you will be moving to the pulse with large motor movements, which helps so much to internalise a steady pulse.
