The Musician's Guide to Tempo

Standard Tempo Markings

Composers often use Italian terms to describe speed. Here are the most common ranges:

  • Largo: 40–60 BPM (Very slow)
  • Adagio: 66–76 BPM (Slow & stately)
  • Andante: 76–108 BPM (Walking pace)
  • Allegro: 120–168 BPM (Fast & bright)
  • Presto: 168–200 BPM (Very fast)

Practice Tips

Start your practice at a slow tempo (around 60-70 BPM). Once you can play a passage perfectly 5 times in a row, increase the tempo by only 5 BPM. This "incremental speed" method builds permanent muscle memory and precision.

Precision Audio

This metronome uses the Web Audio API, which schedules sounds at the hardware level. Unlike standard JavaScript timers, this ensures your beat never "drifts" or lags, even if your computer is busy with other tasks.
