Online Metronome

Online Metronome Instructions:

1. What is a metronome:
A metronome is like a musical clock that keeps a steady beat for you.
It makes a steady click, click, click sound so you can stay in rhythm while you play.

2.  Why we use it:
It helps a band to play evenly and together.  It helps  a student to play with a steady beat and consequently helps their rhythm.  Think of it like the drummer in your band — it helps everyone march to the same beat.

3. How to use it:

• Step 1:  Set your tempo.  You’ll see a number.  Move the orange dot to the left or right to change that number.  That number represents how many beats per minute the metronome is giving you — that’s called the tempo.  

For example:
60 = slow like a heartbeat ❤️
120 = medium speed like walking 🚶
180 = fast like running 🏃

• Step 2: Set the time signature and click "Accent On" if you want to accent the first beat.

• Step 3: Press the Start button — you’ll hear steady clicks and then your are ready to play along.
  
  

4.  Quick Tips

• If it feels too fast and you can't play along— slow it down!  

• Start slow, then speed up only when you can play along with it cleanly. 

• Try to “lock in” with the click — like you and the metronome are playing together.  

• If you are still not sure about it, just play around with it and you'll get the hang of it!
