Tempos

We're taking a little break from the mass of confusion that is chords and do some music notation. We'll go through tempos and the meanings of other markings you'll see in your music. This way you won't need to go ask someone when you see these in your music.

Gaze upon the beauty of my metronome. Actually this metronome is nice because it has some tempo markings around the center.
*Metronome markings are more suggestions than rules, the tempo will ultimately be up to the conductor. When in doubt listen to recordings and use those as a reference.
