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.
- First play the melody alone (fingers 4-5), then the accompaniment alone (fingers 1-2), then both. Lean the weight of the arm towards the fifth finger: melody mf , accompaniment pp . The melody notes are held: do not lift 4 or 5 while the thumb plays.
