    Hi Amanda,
    there are various mechanisms you can use to keep a beat, some that come to mind are:
    1. counting aloud
    2. counting in your head
    3. tapping your foot
    4. Metronome

    In your case I would recommend using a metronome (there are loads available for mobile phones) set the tempo to a comfortable/slow beat and practice with an easy song. What you are trying to do is get your coordination right with playing and the beat. Once you’ve got your initial tempo sorted try and speed things up a little by gradually increasing the tempo

    Hope that helps

    Mike
