how to
Open the metronome.
Suite from the Magic Flute
Concert speed = 100 bpm / 74 bpm / 112 bpm / 160 bpm
Write down 4 rehearsal numbers (the ones in boxes, one from each movement). These are your "chunks". So if you pick "7", your chunk is 7-13 because 13 is the box after 7.
Play the first chunk with metronome at a comfortable speed.
Repeat with the metronome 4-6 clicks faster.
Repeat, adding clicks to the metronome, until you're close to 126.
Repeat the above with the other 2 chunks you chose.
Russian Sailor's Dance
So many Concert speeds! = 120 bpm / 74 bpm / 86 bpm / 92 bpm / 116 bpm / 128 bpm
Write down 3 rehearsal numbers for your chunks in this piece.
Play the first chunk with metronome at a comfortable speed.
Repeat with the metronome 4-6 clicks faster. Already at 84? Repeat it to check yourself!
Repeat, adding clicks to the metronome, until you're close to concert tempo.
Repeat the above with the other 2 chunks you chose.
Reflect on your process!
Were you able to play the correct speed with the metronome?
How did it feel slowly speeding up?
Are there other "chunks" you'd like to work on before moving on?
