9) METRONOME

Rhythm is one of the most important elements when learning music. It is important to practice playing the piano at the correct tempo and with a steady rhythm. The CN piano's metronome tool helps learners to achieve this by providing a steady beat to play along with.

‘STARTING THE METRONOME

Press the TEMPO button.

The LED indicator for the TEMPO button will turn on and the metronome will begin counting with a steady beat. The tempo in beats per minute will be shown in the display.

…Step2

Press the VALUE buttons to increase or decrease the tempo within the range of 10 - 300 beats per minute. (20-600 BPM with eighth note rhythms).

…Step3

Press the TEMPO button again to stop the metronome.

‘CHANGING THE TIME SIGNATURE

The metronome produces two types of click, with the louder click heard on every fourth beat - this is a 4-beat or 4/4 time signature.

The metronome is capable of providing a down beat to indicate the beginning of the measure.

It is possible to select a different signature where appropriate. There are seven different times signatures available on the CN piano: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 3/8 and 6/8.

…Step1
