Practise with a steady pulse

A metronome provides a reference pulse. Your task is to make the music sit comfortably around it.

Start slowly

Choose a tempo at which you can play accurately and without tension. Increase it in small steps only after several comfortable repetitions.

Count subdivisions

At 60 BPM, a click occurs once per second. Count two or four even subdivisions between clicks to notice whether notes rush or drag.

Know the tool

Browser timers and device audio introduce timing variation. This metronome is a practice aid, not a studio synchronisation clock. Stop playback before leaving your practice session.
