Metronome Practicing |
). I am playing at 60 BPM, which seems to be working out. My question is, how would you go about learning this? I would like to get the entire piece down at 60 before I increase the tempo on any of it. Is that the right way or should I learn one section and work on increasing the tempo on that one section (after the accuracy, of course)? Thanks for your help

I'm currently working on a lesson called "Extreme Neoclassical" by Muris. I learnt the whole piece slowly and play it at a slower tempo. My next step is to increase the tempo of my playing. My approach to do it is dividing the lesson and working with the different parts as a loop over metronome. There are always some sections that are more difficult for us than other so it's better to take those sections and practice them alone with the metronome. I think that this way is more effective than playing the whole piece over a slower tempo.

Both Ben's and Gab's advices are excellent, and Gab gave a nice tip on how to practice, which I usually use too. Play the piece comfortably at one tempo, and increase speed, and when finding a problematic part, isolating that, and working on slower tempos only that part. The more you work on a piece, faster you will learn it obviously, so it's usually mostly about practice, practice, practice.

Isolating problem spots it's really a good thing to do, you get the feel of how it should be done and then you comfortably execute it much better,
Then you piece it together to the previous bars, until you do the whole thing at one tempo, then move to the next tempo which is going to feel a lot easier once you've understood how to play the piece -------------------- Visit my:

As a noob to GMC, I'll share my input, which is similar to the instructors....
Work out the entire piece, so you're at least familiar with it all the way through at a slower tempo first. Then, break down the individual parts, and work on them separately with a metronome, until you can get it up to a higher speed. THEN, try putting them together....even if you had the individual sections down, now you're faced with transitioning positions at a higher speed! Keep going back and forth, between "tuning up" the sections individually at a slightly higher tempo, and then running the entire piece a bit slower to make sure you can play it accurately. I did this with a Muris lesson, "Country Picking Advanced". Still have a VERY long way to go before getting it up to 155bpm!! --------------------   Check out my awesome Nintendo Cover-band, EMULATOR!! http://www.reverbnation.com/emulator Now.....go practice!! |
