A classroom metronome that starts in one click.
No account, installation or student data. Use the mechanical click for pulse work, the drum mode for subdivisions, and the activities below for individual lessons or ensembles.
The core metronome does not need microphone access.
Large tempo, pendulum and beat indicators work well on a classroom display.
Four ways to teach time, not just count it.
Each activity works with beginners and can be adapted for private lessons, general music, choir, band or orchestra.
Pulse transfer
Set 60 BPM. Students clap with the click for eight bars, then continue for eight silent bars while the teacher mutes the sound. Restore the click and notice whether the class arrived early or late.
Subdivision ladder
Keep one tempo while moving from quarter notes to eighth notes, triplets and sixteenth notes. Speak the subdivision before playing it on instruments.
Tempo staircase
Practise a short passage four times correctly, increase by 4 BPM, and repeat. If coordination changes, return to the last successful tempo.
Ensemble beat one
Use an accented meter and ask each section to play only on beat one. Add the remaining beats gradually until the entire bar feels coordinated.
For younger students
Replace counting with walking, tapping or passing an object around the circle. Keep the first tempo slow enough that every student can predict the next beat.
For advanced ensembles
Reduce the click to half notes or one click per bar. Fewer reference points reveal whether the group is sharing a pulse or following individual parts.
For remote lessons
Ask the student to run the metronome locally. This avoids the timing distortion that happens when a teacher's click travels through a video call.
