What to listen for

  1. The scales rise and receive answers

    Follow the rising scales into their answering gestures, hearing the phrase beyond each ascent.

  2. The middle shifts the accents

    Listen for the middle’s offbeat articulation after the rising-scale gestures.

How to practise it

Coordinate shared rhythm without assuming identical notes

  1. Align the shared rhythm
  2. Hear each voice independently

How hard is it

Level 3, estimated

Progrès belongs in the developing-student shelf, with continuity and controlled transitions as provisional learning aims.
