How to Use the Online Metronome

Our free online metronome is simple to use and perfect for practicing any musical instrument or rhythm exercises:

1. Set Your Tempo: Use the BPM slider to adjust the tempo from 40 to 240 beats per minute. Common tempos include Largo (40-60), Andante (76-108), Moderato (108-120), and Allegro (120-168).
2. Choose Time Signature: Select the number of beats per measure (1-8). The default is 4/4 time, which is the most common time signature in music.
3. Click Start: Press the green Start button to begin the metronome. Watch our friendly bear drummer come to life as he keeps perfect time!
4. Practice: Play along with the steady beat. The visual beat indicator helps you see exactly where you are in each measure.

Advanced Features

Tap Tempo: Can't figure out the tempo of a song? Just tap the "Tap Tempo" button 4 times in rhythm with the music, and the metronome will automatically detect and set the correct BPM. This is incredibly useful when learning songs by ear or matching the tempo of a recording.

Tempo Trainer: One of the best ways to build speed and technique is to gradually increase the tempo. Our Tempo Trainer does this automatically! Set your target BPM, choose how often to increase the tempo (30 seconds to 3 minutes), and by how much (1-20 BPM). The metronome will start at your current tempo and gradually increase until it reaches your target. Perfect for building speed on difficult passages!

Practice Timer: Set a specific practice duration (5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes) and stay focused on your practice session. The timer tracks your total practice time and counts your practice sessions throughout the day. The progress bar shows you how much time remains in your current session, helping you stay motivated and organized.
