Metronome on your phone- a cool way to facilitate music practice
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009The cell phone has indeed become one of the centerpieces of modern life. Aside from its easy accessibility via texting, emails, or online calls, one of the cool stuff that has become available is that of having metronomes on your phone.
For starters, a metronome is a practice device or tool that emits a steady beat (or pulse) to aid music artists at all levels play their rhythms as accurate or as consistent with the desired tempo. The preferred timeframe is the minute, hence, the pulses are measured in beats per minute or BPM.
In another example of collaboration between the internet and phone technologies, a metronome can be downloaded from such online resources such as metronomeonline.com and webmetronome.com.
With a metronome in your phone, it is like having the facilities of a roving music studio wherever your music takes you. A very powerful application indeed so hopefully you can be the next Mozart, the Beatles, the next American Idol, or simply the music star waiting to be discovered!
