The metronome doesn’t wait for you to figure out notes, so it can be challenging to play with a metronome in the first stages of learning a new piece. Just like learning your instrument, learning to use a metronome will take time and practice. A metronome is a device that produces a steady pulse to help musicians play in time. The pulse is measured in BPM (beats-per-minute). A tempo marking of 60 BPM equals one beat per second, while 120 BPM equals two beats per second. A metronome is commonly used as a practice tool to help maintain a steady tempo while learning difficult passages. Many metronome techniques exist to enable musicians to internalize time, learn to play consistently ahead of or behind the beat for specific feels, and to properly learn rhythmic division and polyrhythms. Ranging from old-school, wind-up clockwork, wooden pyramids to modern digital units with programmable beats, there are metronomes to meet. The metronome should be capable of producing high and low audio beats, accompanied by a visual beat indicator, and the beat pattern and tempo should be configurable. For the purpose of this task, it is acceptable to play sound files for production of the beat notes, and an external player may be used. The best free online metronome. Tempo (bpm), time signature, lots of rhythm patterns. Mouse, keyboard and touch controls.

How to use our Online Metronome

  1. First of all, you'll want to set the BPM (Beats per Minute) of the metronome by either dragging the slider, or pressing the +/- buttons. Once you do, you'll see the musical term for the speed of the metronome as well. You can change this setting while the metronome is running as well.
  2. Next, you'll want to set your time signature, so how many beats you want to have sounding in 1 measure. As you'll know, the most common time signatures are 4/4 (4 beats to a measure) and 3/4 (3 beats to a measure), but our metronome is very flexible in this respect as well. You can set up to 16 beats per measure. You can change this setting while the metronome is running.
  3. You'll also want to set when you want to hear accented beats. By default, the accented beat is the first beat, but you can set any of them to be accented, simply by pressing the corresponding beat near the bottom of the metronome.
  4. Now just press the Start button, and the metronome will produce your beat. It will also count how many times it's gone through the measure, as indicated by the 'Measures so far' number, which you can reset at any time.

We've noticed that the rhythm played by our metronome is a bit off-accurate in the Google Chrome browser for the first few cycles. If you experience this, please use a different browser, or wait till the 3rd cycle, after which the rhythm becomes constant. Our apologies but this is a Google Chrome error, and we can't do anything about it.
