Online Metronome

Set the tempo, choose the beats per bar and press start.

100 BPM Β· Andante

Clicks are scheduled on the audio clock, so the beat stays steady even if the page is busy. Keep the tab open while playing.

How to use the metronome

  1. Set the tempo with the slider or the βˆ’ and + buttons, or tap the Tap tempo button in time with a song.
  2. Choose how many beats are in a bar and whether the first beat is accented.
  3. Press Start and play along; change the tempo at any time.

Why practise with a metronome

A metronome shows whether you rush or drag. Playing with it builds an internal clock, so you keep steady time with a band, a backing track or alone on stage.

Tempo markings

Classical scores describe tempo in Italian: Largo (40–60 BPM), Adagio (66–76), Andante (76–108), Moderato (108–120), Allegro (120–168) and Presto (168–200). The display shows the marking for the current tempo.

Practice tips

Practise a hard passage slowly until it is clean, then raise the tempo a few BPM at a time. Try hearing the clicks as beats 2 and 4 only to develop a swing feel, or set one beat per bar to test your timing between clicks.

Frequently asked questions

What does BPM mean?

Beats per minute. 60 BPM is one click per second; 120 BPM is two.

How does tap tempo work?

Tap the button at least twice in time with the music. The metronome averages your last taps and sets the tempo.

What tempo should I practise at?

Start slow enough to play the passage cleanly, often 60–70% of the target tempo, and raise it by 4–5 BPM once it feels easy.

Is the timing accurate?

Yes. Clicks are placed on the Web Audio clock, which is far more precise than ordinary page timers.
