Practice tips for playing at 115 BPM

Allegro is where most technique problems become obvious. Practise at this tempo with the metronome and work on subdivision — playing sixteenths evenly at speed is the single biggest separator between clean and messy fast playing. Slow everything down until it is boring, then bring it up in increments. If you rush, the usual culprit is anxiety about the next note rather than the note you are playing.

Warm-up exercises

Start with single quarter notes on one note, focusing on even spacing and consistent dynamics.At 115 BPM, keep your movements small and efficient. Tension is the enemy of speed.Add eighths and then sixteenths as you become comfortable.

Tip: start at half speed (58 BPM) and double the note values per bar until you can hit the target tempo accurately.
