FAQ

What is a metronome for?

What does BPM mean?

BPM stands for Beats Per Minute. Higher numbers mean a faster tempo. Practice pieces are usually 60–120 BPM.

What tempo should beginners use?

Start around 60–80 BPM and only speed up once you can play cleanly and in time.

What does 4/4 mean?

It means four beats per bar, with a quarter note as one beat — the most common time signature.
