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.
  • p-a-m-i tremolo: the thumb plays the bass (lower voice),then ring,middle and index fingers repeat the melody note (upper voice). Don’t chase speed: a slow,perfectly even tremolo beats a fast,limping one; practise with the metronome,looping two bars.
