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. Work in four-bar sections before playing it through.
