This free online metronome keeps a steady, adjustable beat for practising an instrument, singing or drilling rhythms — no app download or sign-up required. Set your tempo in beats per minute (BPM), press start, and play along to build the rock-solid timing that separates tidy performances from sloppy ones.
A metronome produces evenly spaced clicks at a tempo you choose, measured in beats per minute. At 60 BPM there is exactly one click every second; at 120 BPM there are two clicks per second. Practising against that fixed pulse trains your internal sense of time so you stop rushing fast passages and dragging slow ones.
A common practice method is to learn a tricky passage slowly and cleanly, then raise the tempo in small steps of about 5 BPM only once you can play it without mistakes. This gradual approach builds accuracy first and lets real speed follow naturally, which is far more effective than simply trying to play fast. Tempo markings on sheet music map to BPM ranges: for example Largo sits around 40–60 BPM, Andante around 76–108 BPM, and Allegro around 120–168 BPM, so a metronome lets you match the composer's intended pace exactly.

Start slow enough to play a passage perfectly, often 60–90 BPM, then raise the tempo in small 5 BPM steps as it gets cleaner. Speed is a by-product of accuracy, not the goal itself.
