ABSTRACT:
A device and method for monitoring the tempo of an instrument generating tempo beats involves the sensing of each tempo beat, measuring the time interval between successive beats, dividing the time interval into a minute, and visually indicating the measured beats/min. between each two successive beats. The device includes a piezo transducer for sensing the beats, an electronic timer for measuring the time interval between each two successive beats, and a display associated with the timer for visually displaying the measured beats/min. time interval. The device thus provides visual feedback to a musician or user of the tempo of the instrument being played.
