Play each chord with all the notes sounding together, from a relaxed wrist. Look at the fingering printed over each chord and keep the hand shape as the chords change.
Start with short loops.
Use the section list as a practice map. Start at 50% tempo, loop one section, then return to the full piece once the hand shape feels stable.
Choose Right or Left to focus on one hand. Wait for note checks the highlighted notes as you play them on the screen or a connected MIDI keyboard.
