PIANO
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
Step1
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
Press the BEAT button.
The LED indicator for the BEAT button will turn on and the metronome will
