Tempo


Do you like to practice with fast tempo? there is a rule in piano playing, if you can't play it slow you can't play it fast. Practice with slow tempo can be boring sometimes and it is really testing our patient ;p but the rule stays true. If you can master the slow, chances are big for you to master the fast tempo.

For example, Beethoven Piano Sonata op79 with Presto means about 160bps. If you can master the song with slower tempo let say 130bps, it will be easier to take it from there. But if you are struggling with 130 dont even bother trying to play it in 160 until you can play it well in 130.

My advice: Be patient. Master the slow then steadily increase the tempo :)
