Tips for Playing
✔ Practice step by step: Repeat the Slow section as many times as needed until you feel comfortable, then move on to the next chapter.
✔ Hands separately first: Start by practicing the right hand (melody), then the left hand, and finally both together.
✔ Play with a partner: One person can play the melody while the other plays the accompaniment—great for learning together!
✔ Practice daily: Even just 15 minutes a day will help you improve steadily.
✔ Take your time: enjoy the process, and have fun playing!
