Which tempo progression is described as slow-to-fast (starting slower and increasing tempo after mastery)?

• A. Slow-to-Fast
• B. Half-Time
• C. Part-to-Whole
• D. Cueing Techniques

Answer: (A)

Tempo progression in a class is about how music speed supports learning. Beginning at a slower tempo gives participants time to learn the moves, establish safe form, and coordinate cues. Once technique is solid, you gradually speed up to challenge the group and raise energy without sacrificing control. This approach—starting slow and then increasing tempo after mastery—describes the slow-to-fast progression. It fits how people learn motor skills in a group fitness setting: practice at a manageable pace, then build speed as confidence and proficiency grow. The other ideas describe different concepts—playing at half tempo, breaking moves into parts before putting them together, or focusing on cueing—not a gradual tempo increase after mastery.
