How fast is 110 BPM?
BPM means beats per minute. Divide 60 seconds by 110 and one beat lasts about 0.55 seconds. Four such beats take about 2.18 seconds in a 4/4 bar. These times describe the click, not how many notes you must play.
The main beats are close enough to give forward motion, but you can still count four of them clearly. Keep the phrase length fixed when adding quicker notes.
What should you practice at 110 BPM?
Speak '1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and' while the click marks the numbers. Start a note on each 'and' without moving the main beat.
