ABSTRACT:
A visual electronic metronome comprises a plurality of LED's arranged in a first V-shaped column and a second column extending downwardly from the top of the V. The LED's are actuated in turn so as to produce the appearance of a block of light moving along the V-shaped column and then down the second column until a leading edge of the block of light reaches the bottom of the column. At that point a strobe light produces a flash indicative of the intended beat. The user can thus observe the approach of the beat and meet it exactly preparing the muscles for playing the instrument according to the visually observed position of the block of light approaching the beat.
