Frequently asked questions
What BPM should I practice at?
Start at a tempo where you can play cleanly and consistently. Many musicians begin between 60 and 80 BPM, then raise the speed in small steps once the passage feels stable.
What does BPM mean in a metronome?
BPM stands for beats per minute. It tells you how many clicks happen in one minute, which makes it easier to match the tempo of a song, exercise, or practice routine.
How do I find the tempo of a song?
Use tap tempo. Tap along with the beat of the music and the online metronome will estimate the BPM for you, which is one of the fastest ways to match a song's tempo.
Can I use this online metronome on my phone?
Yes. This online metronome works on phones, tablets, and desktop computers directly in the browser, so you can use it without installing an app.
