Metronome is a device that produces a click sound on a steady pulse/ tempo. Tempo is measured in Beats Per Minute (BPM). Example, a clock ticks at 60 times a minute, so it’s tempo is 60 BPM.
The name metronome comes from Greek words metron meaning “measure” and nomos meaning “regulating”.
Music is all about Pitch and rhythm. Metronome is a very important practice tool and below are a few important uses of metronome-
– Its helps you to focus on the rhythm of a music piece or a song
– It helps you to track your progress. E.g. If you are practising a scale or an exercise on 60 bpm, you can gradually increase your speed to 65 or 70 and so on.
– It helps you find errors. E.g. if you fall behind (say get slower) in a particular section of a song, then it’s best to practice the entire song at a slower tempo to stay on the beat.
All in all, Metronome is a critical tool to shorten your learning curve.
