GUEST,matt milton Playing at speed (82* d) RE: Playing at speed 16 Feb 19


Your metronome is giving you the indication of tempo. If it is set for 132 for polkas and 100 for reels, that means you are playing a polka faster than a reel. That's a standard musical convention.

With your metronome set to 132, play a polka. Then segue straight into a reel without adjusting your metronome. Good luck playing that reel! If reels really were faster than polkas it ought to be a cinch, really easy. Somehow I don't think you'll find it so.
