A Metronome is a device that produces an audible click or other sound at a regular interval that can be set by the user, typically in beats per minute. Metronomes may include synchronized visual motion. Musicians use the device to practice playing to a regular pulse.
Musicians practice with metronomes to improve their timing, especially the ability to stick to a regular tempo. Metronome practice helps internalize a clear sense of timing and tempo. Composers and conductors often use a metronome as a standard tempo reference—and may play, sing, or conduct to the metronome. The metronome is used by composers to derive beats per minute if they want to indicate that in a composition. Conductors use a metronome to note their preferred tempo in each section.
