Understand the different 'speeds' in Music

I have already explained the different 'speeds' in music.

I speed = 1 note per beat

II speed = 2 notes per beat (double of I speed)

III speed = 4 notes per beat (double of II speed)

IV speed = 8 notes per beat (double of III speed)

Tips for Learning Music

1. Understand the timing first.

2. If you have a vocal recording of the notation, listen to it many times (with the notes on your hand) & try to sing along with the recording before you start practicing the song

3. Try to sing the notes, tapping your hands., (if possible try to memorise)

4. Learn the pharases bit by bit & then combine the bits together.

5. If any bit is difficult, do it as many time you require, and clear the bit.

6. Practice the fingering without rhythm, slowly.

7. Then after gaining confidence, play the sequence with rhythm in slow tempo.

8. Then slowly increase your tempo to reach the expected tempo of the song.
