How to practise it

  • Listen first: the site plays it while the score scrolls.
  • Wait mode: the score waits for you at every note, at your own pace.
  • Tempo challenge: play in time, with a score and a map of the bars you got right.
  • The eighth notes in bar 5 go twice as fast: count “1 and 2 and”. Play it as a round with a friend, two bars apart.
