How to use this free tool
Set tempo
Drag the wheel left or right (the page still scrolls up and down). Or use Tap tempo. Range 40–240 BPM with tempo names.
Pick a meter
Choose 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, or 6/8. Pads light on each beat; beat 1 is accented so downbeats are clear.
Stay with the click
Keep this tab open while practicing. Some browsers pause audio when the tab is fully backgrounded — leave it visible if the click stops.
Why a free online metronome in the browser
A free online metronome with no download is easy to assign: one link for the whole class. Students open Safari or Chrome, set BPM, and practice. Band rooms and private lessons can share the same page without another app install. See the free online metronome for band guide for rehearsal tips.
