Have you ever heard of the word 'metronome'? It's not an everyday word that most people use. Some composers use a metronome to indicate how fast they want their pieces to be performed. Some performers use a metronome so that they can maintain a steady beat while practicing. Some digital instruments, such as pianos and keyboards have a metronome built in. Sometimes these metronomes will display a number. Other metronomes are portable and hand-held and may display a digital number or a flashing light. CMajor will talk about how to tie the Three T's together in this episode. She'll play at least two examples of a metronome ticking sound. It's not the same as using a wind-up timer, as you may know--Time Values, Time Signatures and Tempo go according to how many beats are in a bar, the kind of note being used to represent a beat and how fast the beats are moving. CMajor will demonstrate how the metronome in music theory can be set to tick or flash at a given number of beats in a minute. That's next time on The CMajor Radio Show. See you soon!
