85 BPM Metronome — Andante
A dedicated page for every practice tempo from 30 to 240 BPM: the classical tempo marking, exact beat math, songbook songs near that speed, and a one-tap start into the full metronome prefilled at that BPM.
At 85 beats per minute the click falls every 705.9 milliseconds — eighth notes at 352.9 ms, sixteenths at 176.5 ms — and a 4/4 bar lasts 2.8 seconds (21.3 bars a minute). In classical terms 85 BPM is andante: a walking pace.
From the String Warrior songbook, 6 songs sit within ten percent of 85 BPM — real-song material for practicing at this tempo. Start the metronome below, or nudge a notch slower and work back up: clean at a slow tempo beats sloppy at a fast one.
