While singing, my 10 year old child misses the pace when she is too engrossed in the nuances. Will the electronic mridangam and manjira help her to stayat the pace? The metronome can be used for adi talam only. i guess. any suggestions?

Don't worry about it at this stage, the problem will correct itself with further practice

my understanding was that metrnome will keep you at a fixed tempo (kalapramanam), it can be used regardless of which tala she is practicing in.

Quite true. Just listen to the metronome pulse and use it to stay on the tracks. Even for Adi talam it will not help with the structure of the talam
