Tempo Tracker

What students practice

Students practice beats per minute and steady beat concepts, including what BPM means, double/half tempo, and faster/slower (accelerando and ritardando).

How to play

Players press Space to sound a steady beat, keeping the needle in the orange zone for four beats to lock on; taking too long loses the probe, and three lost probes ends the mission.

Teacher Setup

Teacher Setup lets a teacher choose which tempo signals are in play, whether a beat helper shows the target zone and hints, and the speed; the end screen offers a printable list of skills to practice.

Tempo Tracker is one of 16 games in the Music room, a members room on the Promenade.
