A multiple channel metronome for use by a plurality of musicians generally
includes a signal generator for producing electrical signals according to
desired timing schemes and a plurality of transducers in communication
with the signal generator. Each transducer, which may take the form of a
piezoelectric device, a buzzer, electrodes or any substantial equivalent,
is adapted to impart a sensation to one of the musicians in response to
one of the generated electrical signals. The communication may be
established with hardwired connections, infrared links or a radio
frequency transmission system. The signal generator is under the
centralized control of a conductor, bandleader, lead musician or music
instructor.
