The standard way to use a metronome is to set it to the tempo of a specific piece of music. The tempo is usually on the upper left of the page and it will say something like 120=(a quarter note is usually shown)
which means that a quarter note is 120 beats per minute. This can also be any note and tempo indication. For using it to practice scales then you would set it for a slow tempo and play 3 or 4 notes per click depending on the time signature. (4 is the most common) you will practice at this tempo until you can play the scale (or passage of music) flawlessly and the advance the tempo one notch and continue. In this way you will build up accuracy and speed over a period of weeks
most music has a tempo listed on the upper right of the staff and mosrt metrnomes have these tempos listed next to the pendulum. set it in the range and keep time to the beat.

you set the metronome to whatever tempo the music is, and use the click click click noise it makes to match up the beats
you pretend the metronome is the conductor (or the drummer, depending on what kind of music you play)
the numbers are the beats per minute. obviously the more beats per minute, the faster the tempo

It is a tool to help you learn to play. It keeps a beat going. One problem many have is to stay with a beat. This helps you do that.
Turn it on. Set it to the number of beats per minute you want. Play.
play a note every beat
a mentronome does not exist sorry.
a metronome on the other hand i a device that is used to help keep time.
Do what u think u should do(^_^)
