Metronome

Set the tempo, press start, and practice in time. The first beat of every bar is accented.

100 BPM
Beats per bar

How to use

Drag the slider or use the −/+ buttons to set the tempo, choose how many beats per bar (the first is accented with a higher click), and press Start. To match a song's tempo, tap the Tap tempo button along with the music at least four times — the metronome reads your average and sets the BPM for you. Timing uses the Web Audio clock, which schedules every click ahead of time, so the beat stays steady even if the page is busy. Common practice tempos: largo ≈ 50, andante ≈ 80, moderato ≈ 100, allegro ≈ 130, presto ≈ 170.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the beat sound so steady compared to other web metronomes?
Clicks are scheduled on the Web Audio hardware clock a fraction of a second in advance, instead of relying on JavaScript timers that drift when the browser is busy. The result is timing accurate to a few milliseconds, steady enough for serious practice.
How do I find the BPM of a song?
Play the song and hit the Tap tempo button on every beat, at least four times. The metronome averages your last taps and sets the BPM automatically — then press Start to play along with the detected tempo.
What tempo should I practice at?
Slower than you think — pick a tempo where you can play the passage perfectly, even if that is half speed, then raise it in small steps (4–8 BPM) only after several clean repetitions. Accuracy at a slow tempo builds speed far faster than sloppy repetitions at full tempo.
