Slower than a resting heartbeat. Each beat feels separate, so counting subdivisions (1-and-2-and) helps you stay steady.

Practising at 50 BPM

  1. Play the passage at about 25 BPM until every note is accurate and evenly spaced.
  2. Raise the tempo in steps of about 5 BPM โ€” 40, 45, then 50.
  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.
