Best Answer

There is two ways to tell how fast or slow music is. First of all by the words that are written to the top right of the sheet music and randomly throughout. These words will be like vivace (very quick and lively), Allegro (A lively tempo), Allergretto (A little slower than allegro), Andante (A relaxed, walking tempo), Moderato (Moderate tempo), and Adagio (A very slow tempo). There is many more of these, but these are some of the most basics. Secondly there will be a metronome marking. What this is a little note, a equal sign, and a number. The note shown is what will get the beat and the number is what you sent your metronome to. some of the speeds I listed above would be equal approximately to these times. Allegro=120-168, Moderato=108-120, and Adagio=66-76
