How to learn it

Notice it, practise it, use it again

You may meet the same skill in several exercises or schools. Each one gives you another way to hear or apply it.

01 · Notice

Identify the choice

Focus on the specific musical decision instead of judging the whole attempt as good or bad.

02 · Practise

Complete an exercise

Use a short exercise to hear the skill clearly and try it for yourself.

03 · Apply

Use it in context

Try the same skill in another exercise, another school, or a more complete piece of work.
