The tempo of a song is the speed at which it is played. This speed is determined by the beats per minute. More beats in a minute means the tempo is faster.

Fast tempos are listed below (from Wikipedia):

Allegro is 120-139 bpm

Vivace is 140 bpm

Vivacissimo is really fast

Allegrissimo is faster

Presto is 168 to 200 bpm

Prestissimo is more than 200 bpm

Basically, anything over 120 bpm is a fast tempo.

This varies depending on the music, but usually "moderato" is quarter note = 108-120 beats per minute

Tempo is the speed at which a piece of music is played. A moderate tempo would mean not too fast but not too slow, either. This would be considered Andante, or around 120 beats per minute.

The term 'Moderato' is an Italian term for 'moderately'

So 'Moderato' written in a piece of music means the tempo should be moderate
