= Coda (It. tail) : This is an extra section added on at the end to complete a piece.
D.C. al Coda: Go back to the beginning and play to the coda sign (or to coda
instruction). Then skip straight to the second coda sign and play to the end. (The
added 2
nd
time means repeat the first section again before playing the coda.)
This is telling you to play at a tempo of 140 crotchets per minute. A metronome is a device that makes
a steady ticking sound that can be adjusted to help keep time to the intended beat of the music.
