It seems that once a week or so I have a student claiming that they couldn’t use a metronome for some reason – if you have a similar problem, there are two options that anyone with a web browser and an internet connection can use – completely free!
If you go to Google, and just simply type in “metronome” Google will not only give you a few websites that offer free metronomes, but it will also give you a fully-functioning (though simple) metronome right in the search results, like so:
![google metronome search](https://colindorman.wordpress.ironicdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/google_metronome-1024x491.jpg)
If you don’t particularly care for Google search, a similar search on Bing will yield the same result, although Microsoft’s metronome actually has a few more advanced functions than Google’s does:
![bing metronome search](https://colindorman.wordpress.ironicdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/bing_metronome-1024x515.jpg)
Of course, there are still a wide variety of metronome apps that you can get for free or a small amount of money, but now the number of excuses about not having a metronome or not being able to afford a metronome app are pretty much obsolete!
