Tips for practising
- Listen to the whole song once before you start, and hum along to fix the melody in your ear.
- Start slow. Lower the tempo to 60–70% and only speed up when you can play a phrase without mistakes. Full speed is about 120 beats per minute.
- Learn each hand separately with the Left and Right buttons in the full piano, then put them together.
- Practise in short sessions. Ten focused minutes a day beats an hour once a week.
