    Wanderer's Minuet for 30s, Mage's Ballad for 30s, and Army's Paeon for 20s forms your core Song loop. AP is cut off early because it's the weakest of the three Songs while WM is the strongest, and all three Songs have the same cooldown of 80s so WM will be off cooldown before AP actually ends. As for a general leveling guide there is this one by Cetonis. At the bottom of that guide you'll also find the link to the level 80 BRD guide.

    There is an excellent and detailed BRD guide available here but to give you the short answer, we follow an 80 second rotation consisting of 30 seconds in Wanderer's Minuet, 30 seconds in Mage's Ballad and 20 seconds in Army's Paeon. We cut AP short because Raging Strikes is on an 80 second cooldown and since that's a great damage boost we want to make sure it lines up with WM - our strongest song - for the best results.

    At level 57 you're missing some of the key actions/traits that bring everything together and make the rotation feel whole, but the song rotation doesn't change between now and level 80
