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.
- Staccato: the key bounces, the wrist stays loose. Legato: release a note only when the next one sounds.
