Metronome FAQ
Why use a metronome when practicing?
A steady click exposes timing unevenness that is hard to feel. Start below performance tempo, play the passage cleanly, then raise the BPM in small steps until you reach target speed.
How does tap tempo work?
Each tap records a timestamp; the tool averages the gaps of your last few taps within a three-second window and converts that into BPM. Tap 4โ6 times for a stable reading.
Does it keep working in a background tab?
Browser throttling can disturb timers in hidden tabs, so keep the tab visible during practice sessions.
