A few useful notes.
What is a rhythm randomizer?
A rhythm randomizer creates fresh patterns of notes and rests within a time signature. Use this random rhythm generator for sight-reading, clapping exercises, instrument warm-ups, or music lessons.
Is this a beat maker or a music generator?
This tool generates music notation for rhythm reading practice. Playback uses sustained tones to make note lengths audible, with short percussion available in Playback options. It does not make full songs, drum arrangements, or MIDI files.
How do I make the exercises easier?
Choose First steps, start with one or two measures, and slow the tempo down. You can practice from 20 to 300 BPM. Turn off rests if you want to focus on note lengths first.
Can I use it in a lesson?
Yes. Share preserves the same rhythm and settings for another person. Print opens your browser's print dialog, where you can also save a PDF. No account or subscription is required.
What does BPM mean in compound time?
In 6/8, 9/8, and 12/8, the tempo counts dotted-quarter beats: groups of three eighth notes. In 6/8, you hear two main beats per measure. In 5/8 and 7/8, the tempo is measured in quarter notes and clicks follow the grouped pulse.
