metronome

So still was the place that the caged cricket hanging from the eaves of Um's distant room beat time like an elfin metronome.

It is another question whether we can by this means attain the necessary universal use of the metronome.

When I 'go into training,' I find the best means to attain velocity is to work with the metronome.

One can't jump at once into the necessary agility, and the metronome is a great help in bringing one up to the right pitch.

As for the metronome, I approve of it to cultivate the sense of rhythm in those who are lacking in this particular sense.
