A typical walking speed is a little faster than a second. So anything above 60 bpm is going to be either a walking speed or faster. Anything below 60 bpm, or a second, would be a really slow walk — more like a grandpa shuffle. A run is about bpm or higher. It is helpful to me as I sit down and see a tempo written at the beginning of my music, to begin counting out loud the beats per minute, or the tempo, so I know what how fast or slow to play the song.
You measure a beat depending on the time signature. Thus, 60 bpm would be 60 quarter notes per minute. A metronome is a device used to help you determine the beats per minute. A metronome can be set to the amount of beats per minute that you would like. The metronome will then tick at the bpm set. You can then play a song to the beat of the metronome. You will find that this may not be easy! One of the most basic and important aspects of interpreting a piece of music is determining the speed, or tempo.
This means that a particular note value for example, a quarter note is specified as the beat, and the marking indicates that a certain number of these beats must be played per minute. A metronome is a device that produces a sound at regular intervals. Musicians use metronomes to practice playing at different tempos. Beethoven was the first composer to use the metronome, and in published BPM tempo indications for all of his symphonies. Early metronomes were rather inconsistent, but modern electronics make BPM markings extremely precise.
Below is a list of all the terms that a composer may use to tell the player how to change the tempo. Essentially, think of tempo as the speed at which you tap your foot along to the music, and it is measured in beats per minute. Last updated 7th October Table of Contents.
