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.
- Count “1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3” and lightly accent the start of each group. Right hand: the hand stays open across the octave, the wrist rocks between thumb and fifth finger. Practise at half tempo first, with the metronome on the eighth note.
