The first person to reach the finish wins.
There are 6 coloured categories of exam style practise questions:
Melody, Instruments & Dynamics
Harmony, Tonality & Musical Features
Rhythm, Tempo & Metre
Structure & Texture
Africa
Badinerie
Note: Questions are exam style listening questions and access to the internet will be required to listen to the pieces.
