Tempo is the rate of speed of the musical piece or the timing of music.

It's often indicated on written compositions by a descriptive or metronomic direction to the performer:

Prestissimo: 200 - 208 beats per minute

Presto: 168 - 200 beats per minute

Allegro: 120 - 168 beats per minute

Moderato: 108 - 120 beats per minute

Andante: 76 - 108 beats per minute

Adagio: 66 - 76 beats per minute

Larghetto: 60 - 66 beats per minute

Largo: the slowest tempo, 40 - 60 beats per minute

Tempo is the fastest or the slowest you go if your performing play at a steady pace

Otherwise if you Rush you will make mistakes then stop preforming because you get embarrassed
