How it works
- Short lessonsA few minutes each, with music to read and to hear.
- Marked practiceMost answers are marked straight away, and a wrong one shows you why. Longer written answers you mark yourself, with the mark scheme beside them.
- Tests and mock papersA timed test for each topic and a mock paper for the grade.
