Class metronome

A beat the whole room can see and hear. Nine time signatures with the strong beat marked, subdivisions, accents you can change by tapping the dots, a count-in, tap tempo, a trainer that speeds up every few bars, and drop-out bars where the sound stops and the class keeps the pulse.

Beat, bar and the strong first beat are Week 1 of the Music Theory Level 1 pack; compound and odd metres are Level 2. Marimba Wave has the tempo games that follow.
