Metronome

A metronome is a time keeping device utilized by musicians to enhance rhythmic sensibility. We recommend using a metronome in a number of the exercises so as to optimize their effectiveness. Traditional metronomes can be purchased at any music shop and online. Two free electronic metronomes are:

• Metronome Pro (mobile app) – http://eumlab.com/pro-metronome/
• Metronome Online (use in web browser) – metronomeonline.com
