Metronome Math

     Metronome Math is a worksheet that drills the kind of math you may need to use with a metronome. For example: if the metronome is set at quarter note equals 60, and you would like to hear the metronome play eighth notes, what number would you need to set the metronome to?

     Many metronomes nowadays (such as my all time favorite Peterson BB-1 BodyBeat Pulsing Metronome) do this task for you. However, the kind of questions I was getting from students recently led me to realize that although it's nice the metronomes now have the capabilities to do this, students still needed to understand why.

    When I handed the worksheets out to my students their questions were worth gold! It gave me a direct glimpse into their thinking and I was quickly able to help them out.

     Other beginning metronome techniques and worksheets can be found here: Metronome

    Lastly, I apologize for the handwritten look. If you only knew the behind the scenes attempt at getting this worksheet to look better! The bottom line is that learning can still happen no matter what the handout looks like!
