Tap 4 beats with the letter T on your keyboard, or click the button on the left. The metronome then will start or change accordingly the tempo.

Basic Instructions

  1. Start and Stop the metronome by clicking on the Play button or by pressing the spacebar on your keyboard.
  2. Change the tempo by either moving the metronome slider weight up or down, or by entering any custom value (bpm) in the tempo field, then hit the enter button on your keyboard. You can also select a tempo marking from the tempo markings dropdown menu.
  3. That's all there is to it! To do even more, read the Advanced Instructions below..

Advanced Instructions

  1. The metronome has two different working modes: strict and loose. The 'strict' mode shows only the 'real' metronome tempos; that is, the tempo values you can find on a real, physical metronome, ranging from 40 bpm (beats per minute) to 208 bpm. The loose mode, instead, allows you to define any tempo value from 1 bpm to 400 bpm. You can switch between modes with the Metronome Mode switch.
  2. The Flash Mode switch(available in newer browsers only*) allows you to change the display of the beat. By default, the metronome flashes the play button (button mode). In screen mode, the metronome will flash the entire screen. Screen Mode is especially useful in conjunction with the 'muted' sound (see point below), when you'd rather the sound of the metronome not be a disturbance (i.e., during a recording, performance, etc.).
  3. Define where you want the accent to be played with the Accent control. For example, if you are playing a piece with a 4/4 time signature, you may want to set the metronome to 4, which is the default value. This simply means that every 4 beats, you'll get an accent. If, however, you are playing a 3/4 time signature piece, you may want to set the metronome to the value of 3 (every 3 beats, you'll get an accent). You can also select 'Cycle' to set your own cycle of accents! (available in newer browsers only*)
  4. The Sound buttons(available in newer browsers only*) allow you to change the metronome sounds accordingly, or to mute the sound completely (useful in conjunction with the screen Flash Mode mentioned above).
  5. The Tempo Tapper allows you to define a custom tempo by either tapping or clicking on the button itself with your mouse, or by defining your tempo with the letter T on your keyboard. Just define 4 beats, and the metronome will follow you at your defined tempo. Please note that if you are in strict mode and you define a tempo that is not a 'real' metronome tempo, the metronome will automatically switch to 'loose' mode.

Tempo Markings


The terms for popular music tempo markings come from the Italian language. You are probably wondering: Why is this the case? Well, at the time the tempo indications were defined in the 17th and 18th centuries, the most popular composers were Italian (Antonio Vivaldi, Arcangelo Corelli, Claudio Monteverdi, Domenico Scarlatti, and many more).
As you'll notice, the indications below are not standardized, and always subject to interpretation. This is what makes music an art and not a perfect science. The interpretation of a score starts from the tempo marking found at the beginning of the score, and the legend below may help you to better understand those markings and how you might interpret them.
Here is a list of the most common tempo markings with English translation and bpm ranges for your reference:
Slow Tempos:
Larghissimo - In Italian, this literally means 'very wide,' and in music, 'larghissimo' means a very slow tempo. Even though regular metronomes start from 40 bpm, Larghissimo may mean an even slower tempo, as low as 24 bpm or even less.
Grave - in Italian, this means 'heavy and solemn,' and it also defines a very slow tempo, usually faster than Larghissimo. On a metronome, a Grave tempo ranges from 40 to 60 bpm.
Largo - In Italian, its meaning is 'wide,' and as you may notice, largo still refers to a 'slow' tempo. On a metronome, it shares the same tempo range as Grave, with a range of 40-60 bpm. Which one to use is usually up to the composer!
Lento - This word litterally means 'slow' in Italian, even though in music this tempo is a little bit faster than Grave or Largo. Lento ranges between 45-60 bpm on a metronome.
Adagio - Similar to Lento, Adagio means 'slow,' but is more specifically defined as 'slowly and easily.' Think of Adagio as a Lento tempo with a little bit more flexibility. Its range, in fact, is between 55 and 76 bpm, and can vary a great deal between metronomes.

Moderate Tempos:
Larghetto - This marking is definitively faster than Largo, and in Italian, larghetto means something like 'a little wide.' Its range is usually between 60 and 66 bpm on a metronome (some metronomes don't even show this marking and use Adagio instead).
Adagietto - This tempo is similar to the Adagio tempo, but with a 'lighter' meaning, which results in a faster-paced tempo. On a metronome, Adagietto usually falls between 66 and 76 bpm.
Andante - From the Italian verb 'andare,' which means 'going,' Andante expresses the feeling of 'movement,' thus a faster tempo than all the previous ones. Andante is often used in music to differentiate a 'slow' piece from a 'faster' piece (not too fast though!). On a metronome, Andante ranges between 72 and 108 bpm.
Andantino - This tempo is usually a little faster than Andante, even though it can also be interpreted as 'slower' than Andante. On a Metronome, it usually ranges between 80 and 108 bpm.
Maestoso - In Italian, this word means 'majestic,' and its pace is not too slow but not fast (think about it like a slow march). This tempo marking is not always found on metronomes, but it can often be found in music. Its range is usually between 88 and 92 bpm.
Moderato - From the Italian for 'moderate,' this is the most common tempo marking in music. It is right in the middle of the metronome and it is often associated with the value of 100 bpm. Despite that its range can actually be between 93 and 120 bpm.
Allegretto - From the Italian for 'pretty happy,' it is the first tempo on the metronome that can be considered 'fast,' but not too fast of course. On metronomes, Allegretto can range between 104 and 132 bpm.

Fast Tempos:
Animato - From the Italian for 'with movement,' this tempo is not found on all metronomes, but it is often indicated on scores. It can range between 120 and 131 bpm.
Allegro - From the Italian for 'happy,' this is the superstar of the tempo markings, and is very often found in music, denoting a fast-moving pace. On a metronome, it can range between 120 and 168 bpm, even though its most common tempo is set to 120 bpm.
Allegro Assai - From the Italian for 'very happy,' it is usually faster than Allegro, with a bpm ranging between 144 and 168. It actually overlaps with the standard Allegro, but if found on a score where an Allegro is also set, it is sure to be faster.
Vivace - From the Italian for 'lively,' it is usually faster than Allegro, and on a metronome, it ranges between 160 and 183 bpm.
Vivacissimo - From the Italian for 'very lively,' it is not always found on metronomes, but denotes a tempo faster than <>< i=' />. Similar to Allegro Assai, it overlaps with the standard Vivace, and on a metronome, can range between 172 and 183 bpm.
Presto - From the Italian for ' fast,='' quick,'='' it='' is='' a='' very='' fast='' paced='' tempo,='' ranging='' between='' 168='' and='' 200='' bpm.='' presto='' can='' overlap='' with=''>Vivace and Vivacissimo.
Prestissimo - From the Italian for 'very fast,' it is at the top speed of the metronome, with a bpm over 200. <>

In music repertoire, you can also find combinations of the above markings such as Allegro Vivace or Allegro Moderato, denoting combinations of different (but similar) tempos.
It is important to understand that, despite the overlap of some tempo markings in terms of bpm ranges, we have tried to distill the most common tempos for each one in the metronome we are presenting on this page.

Glossary


Accent - The accent of a bar (or measure) is usually the downbeat (the first beat, also known as 'main beat'). In a piece with a 4/4 time signature, the accent occurs every 4 beats. In a piece with a 3/4 time signature, the accent occurs every 3 beats, and so on.
Bar or Measure - A bar (or measure) is composed of multiple beats. Bars in music notation are separated by 'bar lines.' The time signature defines how many beats are included in each measure.
Beat - The beat is the basic unit of a measure, or bar. For example, if a piece of music has a 4/4 time signature (or C - compound time signature), there are measures of 4 beats each. The first beat of each measure is called the 'downbeat' (also known as 'main beat').
bpm - Beats Per Minute. This is the number of beats in a minute of music, and it is the number displayed on any metronome. A bpm of 60 means 60 beats in a minute (1 beat every second). A bpm of 120 means 120 beats per minute, which corresponds to 2 beats per second.
Common Time - The Common Time (marked with C at the beginning of a music staff) is the same as the 4/4 time signature.
Pick-up Notes (upbeats or anacrusis) - One or more notes that precede the first downbeat in a bar.
Rhythm - The rhythm is defined by how the notes are put in succession over time. Music usually has regular patterns of rhythm, and in notation, rhythm is organized through the use of time signature and bars.
Tempo - From the Italian for time, it is the speed or pace of a piece of music. The higher the tempo, the faster the piece. The lower the tempo, the slower the piece.
Time Signature - It is notated at the beginning of the staff, right after the clef, and specifies how many beats are in each measure and which note value constitutes one beat.

Brief History of the Metronome


Even the metronome, a simple device used by millions of musicians, is not without its storied past, colorful characters, and controversies.
The word 'metronome' comes from the Greek: 'metron,' meaning 'measure,' and 'nomos,' meaning 'regulating.' This, then, is a perfect label for a device that musicians, composers, and recording engineers can set to audibly beat at regular intervals as they learn, practice, and create music.
Metronomes began with the pendulum. Galileo Galilei, in the late 17th century, discovered that pendulums, regardless of length or amplitude, vibrated in the same time. Through the 17th and 18th centuries, inventors added calibrations, weights, and 'escapements' to pendulums in an attempt to create a device that musicians could set to continually oscillate anywhere from 40 to 208 beats per minute ( bpm). The long pendulums needed for very slow tempi (40 - 60 bpm), however, rendered most of these early metronomes rather impractical.
In the early 19th century, Dietrik Nikolaus Winkel added double weights to the pendulum - one that remained fixed, and the other that could be slid along the rod of the pendulum to either speed up or slow down the tempo. This seemed to be the best idea yet, but unfortunately, Winkel is not the person glorified as the 'inventor of the metronome.'
While Winkel was developing his double-weighted device, Johann Nepemuk Maelzel, a trained musician and developer of world-famous music-making and chess-playing automatons, among other gadgets and quirky amusements, was also dabbling in metronome development. When Maelzel got wind of Winkel's double-weighted pendulum idea and realized Winkel's device was superior to his own, he met with Winkel and tried, unsuccessfully, to coax Winkel into selling him his idea. No matter - Maelzel simply added a scale to indicate where to place the weight to achieve a certain tempo, patented the device as 'Maelzel's Metronome,' and, today, is still credited with the invention.
Beethoven was acquainted with Maelzel, who created Several ear trumpets to help with Beethoven's mounting hearing loss. As they established somewhat of a friendly relationship, Maelzel suggested some ideas for music that Beethoven would later compose (music that Maelzel tried to pass off as his own, which, understandably, did not sit well with Beethoven). Perhaps in an attempt to patch things up with an angered Beethoven, Maelzel provided him with one of his metronomes. Some speculate, however, that some of the erratic time signatures in Beethoven's music may owe to a malfunctioning metronome, or possibly to Beethoven's improper use of a device with which he was not entirely comfortable. Regardless, Beethoven may have been one of the first composers to use a metronome in his craft.
The advent of electricity meant that metronomes could include features like flashing lights to indicate beats or beginnings of measures. With the discovery of alternating current, metronomes like the Franz Electric Metronome (1938) emerged, in which an electric motor 'drives a tempo-beating hammer through a mechanical reduction.' Even with electricity, improvements to and use of the pendulum-style metronome continued into the mid-to-late 20th century, including mechanisms to enable the pendulums to level themselves even if not on a flat surface, and mechanisms to prevent the escapement from jamming accidentally.
The 1970s also brought forth improvements in digital electronics, which became applicable to metronomes. As microprocessors became small and affordable, other features were added besides keeping time, like tuning notes and accented beats.
Today, computer software applications for smartphones and other devices have all but eliminated the need for pendulums or little battery-powered devices with beeps and flashing lights. Regardless, there remains controversy over whether musicians should use metronomes at all. While some raise concerns that metronomes make music sound too mechanical, others hold the metronome - whoever may have invented it - in the highest regard as an essential tool for growth and mastery in music.

It would be time saving to have an Metronome icon to keep on the starting screen of the desktop and use the program more frequently.
Fabrizio Ferrari- moderator and CEO, on September 5, 2021 @9:41 am PST
Hello Janko and thank you for your inquiry.
Do you mean an icon to put on your computer desktop? If so, you can easily do it by just dragging this webpage URL (the Internet address line) to your desktop! Please, let me know if you need more information on how to do that.
All the best,
Some guyon July 12, 2021 @4:58 pm PST
Could you please add a count-in function that we can use to count ourselves in before starting the metronome cycle? I only have two hands so it's impossible to start it and play my guitar at the same time.
Fabrizio Ferrari- moderator and CEO, on July 13, 2021 @8:40 am PST
Ok, we'll consider adding that. Thank you for your feedback!
Michaelon April 14, 2021 @7:41 pm PST
Dear,
It's a super nice metronome and I use it every day.
only have 2 questions:
- can you make the TIP label not hiding the tempo field please
- can't you make it remember the last settings because i never use the accent button on 4 (always use 0 i.s.o. 4)
cheers,
Michael
Fabrizio Ferrari- moderator and CEO, on April 15, 2021 @6:42 am PST
Dear Michael, thank you for your posted comment and requests. I am glad you like our metronome!
About your suggestions to improve the metronome, about not having the tip covering the tempo field, that shouldn't be a problem since the tip should appear just at first use of the metronome, and then never appear again. Please, let me know if that's not the case, and the tip keeps showing up.
About remember your settings, that's something we'll definitively work on. Thank you for the suggestion!
Please, tell me more about the tip issue above. I look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
Ember Lam From HKon April 9, 2021 @6:51 pm PST
This metronome is awesome (and one of those which can have a real metronome sound). Keep up the good work. Congratulations. This metronome works perfectly and the screen flash is perfect for me, who needs to take a recording. I'm not a professional (in fact I'm only in 6th grade) but I can tell that you are. Keep it up.
P.S. Virtual piano available?
Fabrizio Ferrari- moderator and CEO, on April 10, 2021 @11:01 am PST
Thank you Ember for your kind comment! I am so glad you like and enjoy our metronome!
About your question, do you mean a 'virtual' keyboard to play that makes sounds online? Something like that? Please, let me know. We plan to release more tools for musicians in the coming months, so, any feedback is very welcome!
Thanks again
All the best,

I am using your metronome on Safari on my Mac. I like all of its capabilities. However, when my screen 'goes to sleep' during a long etude the metronome becomes erratic and finally stops. Can I do something to fix this? Thank you
Fabrizio Ferrari- moderator and CEO, on February 17, 2021 @3:20 pm PST
Hello Anne and thank you for your inquiry. I am glad you like and enjoy our metronome!
About your question, I am afraid that's something out of our control.. and the only way to prevent that is to change your Energy Saver preferences on your Mac. From there, you can prevent your computer to sleep. Give it a try and let me know if that works.
All the best,
Dennis Bauson February 1, 2021 @12:47 pm PST
Love the ,metronome but it is missing one critical thing, a timer.
Fabrizio Ferrari- moderator and CEO, on February 1, 2021 @1:17 pm PST
Thank you Dennis for your posted comment.
Could you please tell me more about your mentioned 'missing timer'? I don't understand what you mean.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you again.
All the best,
jasonon January 19, 2021 @8:01 am PST
i dont understand it, how does this help me play the bass player
Fabrizio Ferrari- moderator and CEO, on January 19, 2021 @8:56 am PST
Hello Jason, and thank you for your inquiry.
Well, a metronome helps you to 'keep the time' (the rhythm) while you are playing. It can also help to practice a piece from slow to faster.
For example, if you are learning a new piece of music, you can start playing it very slowly, and the metronome can help you to keep the rhythm constant throughout the piece. I'd suggest starting with a slower tempo from the tempo you want to reach. Then slowly increase the tempo accordingly to your confidence.
I hope this helps!
Please, let me know if you have any further questions. Enjoy your time here on VSM and keep playing great music!
All the best,
James Lovette-Black* VSM MEMBER *on May 2, 2021 @12:57 pm PST
It is used to keep the rhythm, like tapping one's foot to the music. It helps with drills, scales, arpeggios, and playing music, especially with others.
Great tool, Fabrizio.
Fabrizio Ferrari- moderator and CEO, on May 3, 2021 @8:21 am PST
Well said James!
You are most welcome, any time
Please, feel always free to contact me with any questions or ideas you may have, I will be glad to hear from you.
