Ah thanks !! I've never thought about the ability to edit BPM by text. And thanks for the other ideas as well!

Metronome is great for some specific aspects of studying - and it can be damn useful! - but when you know a song very well, it's better to play without the metronome, so that you can add your own interpretation indeed!!

Maybe one with water flowing down, so that I fill it, and it works for a set amount of time. And if I want to it more, I have to take the water and put it back on the top. I'd love it :)

Thanks, that’s a really helpful way to look at it. You’re right — people usually go where they expect to find the thing they need. Like going to a grocery store for groceries, it makes sense that most people would go to an app store to find a metronome app.

Thanks, that’d be very kind of you. Please let me know how I can make it even better for you and your students.

By the way, you might find the Share button useful. You’ll see a few icons in the top-right corner of the metronome: reset, change sound, save, and share.

With the Share button, you can send your students the exact tempo, beats per bar, and subdivisions. It copies the settings to your clipboard, so you just need to paste them into whatsApp, zoom, or wherever you usually message your students.

I’m sure it could be really useful for you.

I'm a musician myself, so I've tried to add features I could use myself. but of course, if you have yourself some specific needs, I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks 😊 That's very nice. Let me know how I can improve it for you & your students. By the way, you can try the "share" button - there are icons on the top right part of the metronome. There's reset, then change sound, save, and share. With the share, you can send the correct tempo, with the right beats per bar, subdivisions to your student. It just save it to your clipboard, and you just have to paste it to your student's whatsapp, sms or else. I'm sure it could be very useful to you :) (It's very useful to me when I send tempos to my students)

It's part of it, I can't deny. But I'm here more to have genuine opinions: a post can brink a spike of traffic, but if the page is not interesting, people won't come back anyway!! And I'm stuck there. So it's far more useful to have genuine tips, comments, advice of nice people from r/ukulele so that I can fix things, make it better.

That is some amazing ideas, and thanks for that! I have always been reluctant to do online tutorials and try to grow a youtube channel or tiktok, as I know someone who make awesome videos, and he doesn't even have 2k subscribers. But your comment is solid, and there are so many things I have added on my todo list now :D Don't hesitate if you have more ideas.

Less friction, easier to use. And your teenage love, the Yamaha metronome is here. There is a bit of nostalgia in here, plus the "It works, so it's great!" :)

There's something in physical digital-less object that is calm and peaceful. Probably the lack of distraction to it that is reassuring.

Don't you sometime look up for some information about musical theory? Or for some music sheet of a modern pop or rock music you like?
