Problems solved by technology

Additionally, traditional metronomes are independent
As a result, it is cumbersome for a conductor, bandleader, or lead musician to control the output of a metronome used by others
Also, such conventional metronomes can only be used by multiple musicians in close proximity to each other
Furthermore, it is almost impossible to use multiple traditional metronomes by multiple musicians, especially musicians in different po

Abstract

A metronome used by one or more musician generally includes a signal generator for producing an electrical signal according to a desired timing scheme and one or more tactile transducers in wireless communication with the signal generator. Each tactile transducer is designed to wear by musician and contained in a wearable housing, the housing does not include electric source for supplying electricity to the transducer. The signal generator controlled by conductor, bandleader, lead musician or music instructor can output electric signal on a plurality of independent communication channels corresponding to a plurality of independent timing scheme, and also be suitable for generating output with presetting time-shift between the signals.
