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.
- Swing the eighth notes: long-short, like “dooo-ba dooo-ba”. E♭ then E with the same finger 3: slide off the black key onto the white one. Left hand: 5 on the root, 1 on the fifth; keep the same shape and move it as a block (C → F → G).
