A metronome gives practice a steady rhythmic reference

Instrument practice, vocal rhythm, reading pace, and repeated movement drills all benefit from a stable beat. This online metronome offers BPM 40-240, tap tempo, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, and 6/8 time signatures, plus tempo presets directly in the browser.

Rhythm concepts

BPM

Beats per minute. A higher number means shorter time between clicks and a faster tempo.

Time signature

Defines how many beats belong in each measure. The first beat is accented for orientation.

Tap tempo

Estimates the tempo you are feeling by measuring the spacing between your taps.

How to use

  1. Set the tempo with the slider, input field, preset, or tap tempo.
  2. Choose the time signature for the pattern you want to practice.
  3. Start the metronome and align playing, speaking, or movement to the clicks.
