This metronome is preset to 75 BPM — press play (or the spacebar) and it ticks 75 beats per minute. In classical terms 75 BPM is Adagio, slow and stately. It's a common tempo for slow ballads, devotional bhajans, soul and gospel.
What 75 BPM means
Tempo is just beats per minute, so 75 BPM works out to:
- 800 ms between each beat
- 1.25 beats every second
- 3.2 seconds for one bar of 4/4
A comfortable practice tempo for scales, sight-reading and locking in your timing without rushing.
How to practise at 75 BPM
Start the metronome above and play one note per click until it feels locked in. If 75BPM 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.
