Print out your solo (button below) and play along with this video! The piece is recorded 3 times. The first two examples are solo (synthesized metallic-type sound), piano accompaniment, and metronome. The first example is at performance tempo. The second example is slower for practice. The third example is with piano accompaniment only (no solo part - you'll provide that!). This third example may be used to make your recording for level-up evaluation.
A range of exercises for beginners. Pay attention to the slide positions written in Roman numerals and match your pitch with the video.
