Metronome
An exact metronome for practice and rehearsal: set or tap the tempo, pick the time signature and accents, add subdivisions – and get faster step by step with the tempo trainer.
How it works
Set the tempo
Slider, plus/minus or “Tap” in time – the metronome takes the tapped tempo. Space starts and stops.
Beats & accents
Pick the beats per bar. Tap a dot to accent the beat, play it normally or mute it.
Practise with the trainer
The tempo trainer raises the tempo by a few BPM every few bars up to your target – ideal for difficult passages.
Frequently asked questions
How exact is the online metronome?+
The clicks are scheduled ahead on the browser’s audio clock, not with simple timers – so the beat stays exact under load and in a background tab. Only the dots may pause in the background.
What do Largo, Andante, Allegro mean?+
Italian tempo markings, roughly: Largo up to 60 BPM, Adagio 66–76, Andante 76–108, Moderato 108–120, Allegro 120–156, Vivace 156–176, Presto from 168. The exact limits differ between sources.
How do I use the tempo trainer?+
Start slowly, e.g. at 60 BPM, set “+5 BPM every 4 bars” and a target such as 100 BPM. The metronome speeds up by itself and holds at the target. So you practise a passage cleanly before it gets fast.
How do I set 6/8 or triplets?+
For 6/8 choose 6 beats and accent the first and fourth dot – or 2 beats with triplet subdivision. Triplets, eighths and sixteenths sound quieter between the main beats.
Does it work offline and on a phone?+
Yes. The metronome runs entirely in the browser, without internet once the page has loaded. On a phone the silent switch should be off, otherwise some devices stay quiet.
