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.
• Practise the bass alone (thumb), then the melody alone (i-m, or a with rest strokes) before combining the two voices; the melody must sing on top. Practise the hard passages separately and slowly before linking them.
