Practising at 196 BPM

  1. Play the passage at about 98 BPM until every note is accurate and evenly spaced.
  2. Raise the tempo in steps of about 5 BPM โ€” 186, 191, then 196.
  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.
