Free Online Visual Metronome

A visual metronome you can see as well as hear: big beat lights, the first beat accented, and any time from 2/4 to 6/8. It runs in your browser, full screen for a classroom, with nothing to install.

96 BPM

Time
Subdivide

Press Space to start and stop. Tap the Tap tempo button in time with a song to match its speed.

Practicing at home

  • Start slow. Choose a tempo where you can play the passage with no mistakes, even if it feels too easy.
  • Speed up in small steps. When you can play it three times in a row cleanly, press + four times and try again.
  • Subdivide fast notes. Turn on Eighths or Sixteenths so you hear every note of a run, not just the beat.
  • Practicing piano? Set the time signature to match your piece (3/4 for a waltz, 6/8 for a jig) so beat 1 lands where the measure starts.
  • Play along with a tune. Every song page has a player with its own beat, if you’d rather hear the melody too.

Using it in class

  • Warm-up on the projector. Press Full screen. Students clap, step or tap the beat; change the time to 3/4 and ask what changed.
  • Keep the beat without sound. Untick Sound. The class keeps the beat by watching the lights, then you turn it back on to check.
  • Tempo words. The Italian name under the number (Andante, Allegro…) follows the tempo table in the elements of music.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. No account, no ads and nothing to install.

Can I use it with no sound?

Yes. Untick Sound and the lights keep the beat on their own, which is handy for a quiet room or for checking the class’s sense of beat.

How does 6/8 work?

In 6/8 the metronome clicks all six eighth notes and leans on 1 and 4, the two big beats. Set it at the speed of the eighth notes.

What tempo should I practice at?

The fastest tempo at which you can play the passage with no mistakes. Speed comes from playing it right many times, not from playing it fast once.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. On an iPhone, switch off silent mode to hear the clicks.
