Metronome
A tool that marks a steady beat at a chosen tempo.
In plain English
A metronome produces regular clicks measured in beats per minute. It can provide every beat or leave gaps that test whether you can hold the pulse yourself.
Try or listen for this
Set a metronome to 60 bpm. Each click is exactly one second apart.
Why it matters
Used thoughtfully, a metronome reveals unstable timing and makes gradual tempo work measurable.
