Just click on the music dictionary at the top of the forum page. then you can
type in "tempo" to find the meaning. It's a good resource for finding music terms, etc.

The music dictionary definition is the rate of speed or movement. On your sheet music where it says Tempo 1 it means go back to the same speed that you were playing at the beginning of the piece.
