What is Tempo?
Tempo, measured in Beats Per Minute (BPM), is the speed of music. It tells musicians how fast or slow to play a piece and helps establish the feel and energy of a song.
Different genres have characteristic tempos: Ballads are slow (60-80 BPM), Pop songs are moderate (100-130 BPM), and Dance music is fast (120-160 BPM).
Knowing the BPM of a song helps you set your metronome correctly, create DJ mixes, or learn songs at the right speed.
Tips for Accurate Tapping
Tap to the Beat
Focus on the kick drum or main pulse of the song.
Be Consistent
Try to tap at exactly the same point in each beat.
More Taps = Better
The more taps, the more accurate the average BPM.
Ignore Fills
Keep tapping steadily even during drum fills or breaks.
Use Half Time
For very fast songs, tap every other beat and double the result.
