6/4 Metronome
6/4 time signature
Use this free 6/4 metronome for six quarter-note pulses grouped as 3 + 3. Adjust the BPM and practice a steady compound-duple feel.
How to use the 6/4 metronome
Practice six quarter-note pulses arranged as two groups of three. The beat markers and optional accent make the 3 + 3 structure easy to follow.
Counting 6/4
Count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, feeling the bar as 1-2-3 followed by 4-5-6. The first beat of the second group receives a secondary accent.
How to count this time signature
At the default 120 BPM, each written unit gets one click every 0.5 seconds. The grouping marks larger pulses without removing the smaller clicks.
In written music, groups of three are often felt as larger dotted beats. Here the BPM number still times each smaller click; the accents show the larger groups.
Grouping options
| Grouping | Count | Accent when enabled |
|---|---|---|
| 3 + 3 | 1 2 3 | 4 5 6 | Beat 1 strongest; beat 4 lighter |
