Note after Note · Level 5 (Advanced) · study · Piano

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.
- A good trill comes from a still hand and fingers right on the keys: do not try to go fast before you are even. The 3-4 and 2-4 pairs are the weakest: practise them in dotted rhythms (long-short, then short-long). The ending must land exactly on the next beat.
