What are using the playings?Show answer
You are given the excerpt a set number of times, often with a pause between playings. Use them strategically. Listen first without writing to grasp the metre, the phrase shape and the overall contour. Use the middle playings to fix rhythm, then pitch, in chunks of a bar or two.
