Lesson transcript

Lesson Introduction: Syncopation

Let's perform the tune "Syncopation Introduction" from the Rockschool Piano Method, Part 2.

Tips for using the interactive sheet music:

  • Switch between my performance and the backing track using the player controls.
  • Turn the virtual keyboard on and off using the button in the control bar to see the notes being played.
  • Start slow and gradually increase tempo by using the speed control.
  • Loop tricky sections by clicking on the sheet music and dragging with your mouse or finger.
  • Use the built-in metronome to keep a steady tempo.

Enjoy your practice!
