## FAQ

### What tempo makes sense for practice?

Start slowly enough to play the passage without mistakes. Then go up in small steps of 4 to 8 BPM.

### Does it keep going when the screen turns off?

That depends on the phone, some browsers pause in the background. Keeping the screen on is the safest bet.
