Read the Eight Targets as Two Four-Card Sections

Am uses degree I, minor world and one finger. F changes to degree VI, major world and one finger. E/G-sharp moves to degree V, stays major and raises two fingers; E7 keeps degree V and opens four. The first section turns perceived speed into four compact property changes.

Dm uses degree IV, minor world and one finger. C major seventh moves to degree III, major world and three fingers. E7 returns to degree V, major world and four fingers. Low Am finishes on degree I, minor world and one finger with the right thumb extended.

The complete state must remain stable for about 350 milliseconds. After confirmation, a short lock gives you time to prepare the next card. Keep the current pose visible until the active target changes; a correct chord label is not enough when world, quality or octave differs from the stored target.

• Target 1: Am — degree 1, minor world, 1 right-hand finger, normal octave.
• Target 2: F — degree 6, major world, 1 right-hand finger, normal octave.
• Target 3: E/G♯ — degree 5, major world, 2 right-hand fingers, normal octave.
• Target 4: E7 — degree 5, major world, 4 right-hand fingers, normal octave.
• Target 5: Dm — degree 4, minor world, 1 right-hand finger, normal octave.
• Target 6: Cmaj7 — degree 3, major world, 3 right-hand fingers, normal octave.
• Target 7: E7 — degree 5, major world, 4 right-hand fingers, normal octave.
• Target 8: Am (low) — degree 1, minor world, 1 right-hand finger, low octave.

Treat 132 BPM as a Preparation Limit, Not a Race

The famous title can encourage frantic motion, but speed in this lesson means early preparation and short travel. Practise silently with the click off, keep the palms in separate camera regions and use the lock after each confirmation to shape the next target.

E/G-sharp and E7 share degree V and the major wrist. Freeze the left side and change only the right hand from two visible fingers to four. This small comparison should remain stable before any attempt to follow the 132 BPM reference.

At the section break, preview Dm by setting degree IV, minor world and one finger. Do not carry the previous E7's four-finger pose into the second half. A clear reset is faster overall than recovering from several accidental qualities.

Use C Major Seventh as the Three-Finger Checkpoint

C major seventh is the only three-finger card. It uses degree III and the major wrist, distinguishing it from the one-finger Dm before it and four-finger E7 after it. Build those three states slowly as a one-three-four quality ladder.

Test Am-to-F for a minor-to-major world change with a fixed one-finger quality. Test E/G-sharp-to-E7 for a quality-only change. Test Dm-to-C major seventh for a combined degree, world and quality change. These cases cover the real control difficulty without pretending to teach the rapid melody.

Keep the final Am at normal octave first; the low target should remain pending. Extend the right thumb only after degree I, minor world and one-finger quality are stable. If speed makes the thumb hide other fingers, stop the click and rebuild the pose.

Complete One Accurate Flight of the Bumblebee Control Pass

Restart the lesson and finish all eight cards without Skip. Watch the degree, world, quality and octave chips, use the section break to prepare the fifth target, and keep the final Am (low) visible until the completion state appears.

Success means eight accurate browser control states, not a performance or transcription of Flight of the Bumblebee. If the 132 BPM reference causes rushed shapes, turn it off, master the transitions and restore it only when every target remains readable.

If labels flicker, improve front lighting, camera distance, wrist visibility and finger separation. If labels are stable but audio is delayed, troubleshoot the browser output path instead of changing the pose. Stop after practice so the camera track closes; frames remain on this device and no microphone is requested.
