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.
- Both staves use the treble clef: the left hand plays the bass (below middle C), then crosses over the right hand. The left hand travels over the right one in an arc, without touching it; the right hand stays low and even. Prepare each crossing during beat 1: your eyes already look at the landing note.
