Fast. At this speed most players start counting in bars rather than single beats.

Practising at 160 BPM

  1. Play the passage at about 80 BPM until every note is accurate and evenly spaced.
  2. Raise the tempo in steps of about 5 BPM โ€” 150, 155, then 160.
  3. Move up only after two clean run-throughs in a row. Dropping back a step is normal.
  4. If a bar keeps failing, loop that bar alone rather than replaying the whole piece.
