A glorious flight - Just add Music!

I might try the metronome on the MS Flight Simulator. Thanks.

with my scan or would music be too much of a distraction for single pilot IFR?

IMO, music would be a distraction if you are first starting out. In my
case I flew several single-pilot flights after obtaining my instrument
rating before I introduced music into the cockpit.

If beat is what you need, see if you can grab a recording of several
metronome-style beats off the Internet and load those to your MP3 player.
Perhaps something in the 30 to 60 beats per minute range.
