Metronomes
Originally designed as tools for measuring rhythmic pulse, metronomes have even been used as actual musical instruments, included in some versions of pieces that are sometimes quite over the top.
The metronome is a very useful tool for those who play a digital piano or a musical keyboard, or any other musical instrument, especially in performing others' compositions, conceived with a certain rhythm, which, thanks to the use of the metronome, can be executed without excessive speeding up or slowing down and remaining faithful to the composer's creative impetus.
The metronomes on the market can be used not only by those who play a musical keyboard and are particularly useful for beginners, those who need to practice, learn musical rhythm, and for those who want to perform a flawless reproduction of famous pieces.

The metronome is a fundamental accessory for every musician, whether beginner or expert; it serves to mark time precisely, preventing slowing down or speeding up. Very often, in fact, even if sometimes imperceptibly, there is a tendency to change the tempo during the performance of a piece, slowing down slightly more difficult parts for fear of making mistakes, or inadvertently increasing the speed.
Studying with a metronome prevents these unconscious variations of time and contributes to developing a greater awareness of timing, a skill then useful in moments of greater stress during live performances.
Metronomes are sold both in their mechanical version, with the classic pyramid shape and the hypnotic stick that moves right and left, and in electronic versions, often also associated with tuners. Sometimes they also offer the possibility to select accents on different times such as 3/4, 5/4, or 7/8.
The metronome is also useful in understanding the optimal speed of a piece, often indicated at the beginning of a composition, or to find the right bpm during the listening of a piece that we would like to perform or reproduce.
