The Best Metronome App For Piano Practice

Many piano players currently practicing their fingering, scales, runs and improvisation are also looking to improve their overall timing using a metronome app. This is a smart move.

What they quickly discover is that there are tons of options, and many of them are more or less exactly the same. Which metronome app is the best?

The first thing to remember is that there is a big difference between timing and rhythm. Sometimes these terms are used interchangeably, but they are very different. There is also another huge skill to build: dynamics. Let’s quickly look at each.

Timing

Great timing keeps you playing on the beat. A well-conditioned internal clock will help you from speeding up or slowing down. For improving your timing, any boring old click will do, as long as it’s consistent.

Rhythm

Developing rhythm is a different challenge altogether. It is more associated with feel and style than timing alone, and is very important for sounding musical. But is there a metronome app that can train your rhythm and timing simultaneously?

Dynamics

This is your loud and soft. The best pianists use dynamics to add major expression into their playing. For beginners still working on their control, things like accents and intensity swells often lead to speed-ups or otherwise erratic playing. Training dynamics is tricky because it requires musical accompaniment that lowers and raises in intensity. Regular metronomes can’t help here.
