Metronome March

MusicTime SignaturesGrades 3–6Keyboard

What students practice

Students practice time signatures, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 3/8, 6/8, or all six, figuring out where bar lines belong so each measure holds exactly the right number of beats.

How to play

Players press Left or Right to pick a gap between notes and Space to plant or pull out a bar line, then press Enter to march once every bar is correct; reaching the end first or placing a wrong bar line costs a shield, with three shields stopping the parade.

Teacher Setup

Teacher Setup lets a teacher choose which time signatures are in play and whether a beat helper prints each note's beat count underneath; the end screen offers a printable list of skills to practice.
