The Metronome

A metronome is a device used by musicians to keep a consistent beat or tempo. It produces regular ticking sounds or visual cues that help performers maintain a steady rhythm during practice or performance. By setting it to a specific beats per minute (BPM), musicians can synchronize their playing, ensuring timing accuracy. Metronomes come in mechanical and digital forms, offering precise, adjustable tempo guidance, and are essential tools for developing timing, coordination, and overall musical discipline.
