112 BPM Metronome

112 BPM is Moderato — moderate, lively, and arguably the sweet spot of popular music. Each beat arrives every 535 ms. Many of the most recognisable songs ever recorded sit right in this zone: classic rock anthems, country hits, and pop standards all gravitate here because 112 BPM is fast enough to feel energetic but slow enough to stay clearly rhythmic to a casual listener. For musicians, this is also a useful practice tempo: fast enough to feel the music moving, but slow enough to correct mistakes in real time without stopping. If you're learning a piece at 120 BPM or above, 112 BPM makes an excellent stepping-stone tempo.
