LESSON 10 — Final Lesson: Speed Builder Round 🎯
This is it - your final challenge.
In this lesson, we’re taking everything you’ve learned and building your confidence, control, and flow step by step. You’ll start at a comfortable 70 BPM, then gradually increase the tempo through 75, 80, 85, and 90 BPM.
Each round is designed to help you:
Don’t rush it — the goal isn’t perfection, it’s progress. If you need to repeat a level, do it. That’s where the real growth happens.

🎵 The Final Jam
⭐ Once you’ve worked your way up to 90BPM, it’s time to jam along with Paul in a virtual jam session. The full speed for the original song is around 94BPM so you're almost there!
This is your moment to step into the music, feel the groove, and experience what it’s like to play Blackbird alongside the original recording.
Take a breath, trust your hands, and enjoy it. You’ve earned this. 🎶✨
