2.6METRONOME

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 CA piano’s metronome is a tool that helps you to achieve this by providing a steady beat for you play along with.

STARTING THE METRONOME

Press the TEMPO button. You will see the LED indicator turn on and hear the metronome begin counting with a steady beat. The display shows the tempo in beats per minute.

To change the tempo, use the VALUE buttons to increase or decrease the tempo within the range of 30 - 300 beats per minute.

(60-600 BPM with eighth note rhythms).

To stop the metronome, press the TEMPO button again.

CHANGING THE TIME SIGNATURE

You probably noticed that there are two types of clicks and the louder one comes every fourth beat. The metronome is capable of giving you a down beat to indicate the beginning of the measure. You are now hearing a 4-beat or 4/4 time signature.
