Short rising pairs answer one another across the two staves. Give each pair a destination and keep the rests light. This little Allegro can sound lively without needing a rushed pace.

How to practise it

  1. Keep the concurrent lines steady when their note patterns differ.

How hard is it

Level 2, estimated

The opening uses short eighth-note pairs separated by rests, with modest melodic movement on two staves. Twelve written measures make it a useful early coordination piece; the estimate is editorial, not a board grade.
