One tempo at a time

The web metronome holds one tempo. Gradus: Metronome for iPhone climbs through a sequence of tempos on its own: set the steps, and the click moves for you.

Allegro indicates a fast, lively character. This page starts at ♩ = 132 in 4/4. Around 120–156 BPM is a rough guide for practice, not a universal definition. A written metronome marking gives a more specific instruction; check its note value before entering the number.

For a difficult run, choose a tempo where you can play the notes clearly and keep the rhythm steady. Repeat a short section, including the note you need to land on after the run. Increase Tempo when that whole section is secure, and reduce it again if the ending becomes rushed.

Clicks per beat at 2 adds an eighth-note reference; leave Swing at Straight for even eighths. Return to one click per beat to check the passage with less help between beats.
