This metronome is preset to 105 BPM — press play (or the spacebar) and it ticks 105 beats per minute. In classical terms 105 BPM is Andante, a relaxed walking pace. It's a common tempo for pop ballads, reggae, classic rock and mid-tempo Bollywood.
What 105 BPM means
Tempo is just beats per minute, so 105 BPM works out to:
- 571.4 ms between each beat
- 1.75 beats every second
- 2.29 seconds for one bar of 4/4
Performance-range for most pop, Bollywood and dance music — practise here once the notes are clean at a slower tempo.
How to practise at 105 BPM
Start the metronome above and play one note per click until it feels locked in. If 105BPM is too fast to play cleanly, drop to a slower tempo, nail it there, then come back. If it's too easy, nudge it up 5 BPM at a time. Tap-tempo on the main metronomeif you want to match a song you're hearing.
