- Listen. Press Listen above to hear it at 132 BPM. You can slow it down in Settings.
- Play along. Press Play along and the glass to circle lights up. Play it and the next one lights. A wrong note is named, so you know what to change.
- Play it from the notes. Once it feels familiar, play it from the sheet below without the lights.
Press and circle a rim to make it sing. A quick tap only gives a ting, and circling faster makes it louder.
