Does anybody know a suitable tempo to play bassoon scales at grade 8? FOr piano, ABRSM set a minimum tempo, but i cant seem to find one for the bassoon. Any ideas?
Thanks

For all woodwind scales at grade 8, the recommended minimum speed is crotchet = 132. For arpeggios/7ths it's dotted crotchet = 76 (according to Clara Taylor's 'These Music Exams'.)
Hope this helps!
