Metronome
A steady click at any tempo, right in your browser. Tap tempo, accents and up to four clicks a beat.
No sound? Turn the volume up and check your phone is not on silent.
Questions players ask
What does BPM mean?
Beats per minute. At 60 BPM there is one beat every second; at 120 there are two.
What tempo should I practise at?
The fastest one at which you can play the part without a mistake. Stay there until it feels easy, then raise it a few BPM and do it again.
How do I set it for 6/8?
Set 6 beats in a bar to hear every eighth note. For the two-in-a-bar feel most 6/8 songs have, set 2 beats in a bar and 3 clicks per beat.
Why is there no sound on my phone?
Turn the volume up first. On an iPhone, also check the switch on the side is not set to silent. The click only starts after you press Start.
Does it keep going if I lock my phone?
No. The page keeps your screen awake while the metronome runs, where the phone allows it. Lock the phone or switch apps and the click stops.
