How to practise it
- Place the pickup into the first full bar, then keep the chord responses below the melody in both staves.
How hard is it
Level 5, estimated
A pickup, simultaneous voices and offbeat chord responses require accurate counting and melody balance. The source’s unhurried direction does not remove the coordination task.
