80 BPM Metronome

This metronome is preset to 80 BPM — press play (or the spacebar) and it ticks 80 beats per minute. In classical terms 80 BPM is Andante, a relaxed walking pace. It's a common tempo for hip-hop, lo-fi, R&B, reggaeton and downtempo.

What 80 BPM means

Tempo is just beats per minute, so 80 BPM works out to:

• 750 ms between each beat
• 1.33 beats every second
• 3 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 80 BPM

Start the metronome above and play one note per click until it feels locked in. If 80BPM 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.
