In the practice room, you'll find a tuner, a metronome and a piano. You use them right in your browser, including between lessons.
How do I open the practice room?
Step 1: Click Practice room in the top menu.
Step 2: Use the Tuner, Metronome and Piano buttons to show or hide the tools.
How do I tune my instrument?
Allow access to your microphone when your browser asks.
Play a single note. The tuner shows you the note and the octave.
When the needle is in the middle, the note is in tune.
The tuner is set to concert pitch A at 440 Hz.
How do I use the metronome?
Tempo: Set the beats per minute (BPM) with – and + or the slider.
Time signature: Set the beats per bar with – and +, for example 3/4 or 4/4.
Stress first beat: The first beat of each bar then sounds louder.
Rhythm: Choose quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes or triplets.
Start: Click the round play button.
How do I use the piano?
Number of keys: Choose 36 or 72 keys.
Note names: Shows the names of the notes on the keys.
Keyboard shortcuts: Play the piano with your computer keyboard.
Volume: Adjust it with the slider next to the speaker icon.
Tip for your practice
Start a new piece with the metronome at a slow tempo. Only speed up once you can play the passage confidently.
