You’ll need to work through using your entire arm, your lower arm, your wrist, and maybe even just your fingers to use the smallest fine motor skills to play quickly. Chances are very good that tempo issues are most likely driven by your right hand/pick/bow techniques and not necessarily your left hand/melodic/harmonic techniques. Have you noticed that when your heroes are playing at lightning speeds, it appears like they are barely moving at all? That’s because they’re being efficient and only moving the necessary muscles instead of the entire right arm system. That’s okay - you’re a work in progress and it’s good to approach each angle multiple times. You might start in one area and notice that you need to focus on another issue. I should also mention that these three angles are continuous and affect each other. We’ll combat the issue at every angle: physical, intellectual, and emotional. Here are some other ways to go about it, with hopefully faster results. You do this until you can no longer play, get frustrated, use up all your practice time, or if you’re having a lucky unicorn day, play at any speed you like. If you’re doing alright, then increase your tempo again by another 3-5 beats per minute. Then you go through a couple passes at that new-ish tempo. You set your metronome (if you know how to use a metronome- that should be a whole other post, shouldn’t it?) at a friendly speed and when you can play every passage comfortably, you move the tempo up 3-5 beats per minute. In case you haven’t tried it yet, this metronome experience is valid and everyone should do it occasionally. This method can work, but it takes a LOOOOOONG time. Most folks think that in order to play faster, you’ll spend a lot of time with your metronome, slowly and gradually cranking up the speed. Whether you’re going from slow to mid, or mid to performance and jam speeds, this post should have some helpful suggestions for your time in the woodshed.

Melody will suffice if all you are doing or ever plan on doing is playing other people's arrangements and maybe tweaking them a bit. I can say from experience that if you are planning on arranging (or composing) Barbershop, you will need at least some of the features of Harmony that are not in Melody. But, there is no upgrade price: Harmony still costs $70 whether or not you have already purchased Melody, so you would basically be wasting $20 if you decide later that you do need the features of Harmony. Anything that Melody can do, Harmony can do also. It only costs $50 more, and has a lot more features. I strongly recommend that you do not purchase Melody Assistant. I have decided to purchase Melody & will see where I go from there. Thanks Sylvain, Sorry I did not reply earlier to thank you. Linktree: VS languages, my scripts, my bands, my performances.

Re: How do I change the tempo in the middle of a p I found how to set the tempo but cannot locate where I can set a few bars at a speed different than the piece.
