Hey Trptboy21, like replies from Vulgano, Misty, Rowuk, and Patric. Have some of my own higher regester challenges, maybe I can put this out there for comment. Lip slur exercise in Arban's, Page 43, exercise #21, quarter note is
supposed to =112-124, sixteenth note triplets in 4/4 time. Can play it at quarter note =82 so far meeself.
My ten years of lessons ended in 1982, this exercise was assigned to me in 1981 for three weeks in a row before I finally passed. My metronome was my teacher rapping the stand with the baton, and I am sure he was beating slower than 112! (Occassionally, I would be in the way of the stand)....
I practice it now with a Casio beat bank on a cheap keyboard, since I can see and adjust the metronome markings as a goal. Anyone on this site play it at 112-124, or is that marking just there to scare people?
