Frequently asked questions
What is an online metronome?
An online metronome is a browser-based click track that plays steady beats at a selected BPM so musicians, students, and players can practice timing.
What BPM should I start with?
Start slower than your target tempo, usually 60 to 90 BPM, then increase the BPM once you can play or practice cleanly without rushing.
How does tap tempo work?
Tap tempo estimates BPM from the average time between your recent taps, which is useful when you want to match a song, chant, drill, or game rhythm.
Can I change the time signature?
Yes. Set beats per measure from 1 to 12. The first beat is accented so you can hear the start of each measure.
Does this metronome require an account?
No. The metronome is free, runs in your browser, and does not require a GameShelf account.
