How to practise this on piano

Read the grand staff the way your hands divide it: the top staff is your right hand, the bottom staff your left — always by hand, never by pitch. The Itsy Bitsy Spider is in C; find the first note (G4) and anchor your right-hand thumb near it before you play anything. Learn the hands separately first: right hand alone until it grades clean, then the left alone, then together at half tempo — the app hears exactly which hand drifted, which is the thing your own ear glosses over.

Keep your eyes on the score, not the keys; your hands learn the geography faster than you expect. Set the metronome well under around 138 BPM and only raise it after two clean takes. When hands-together breaks down, don't start over — drop back to hands-separate for the one bar your take review marks, rebuild it, and splice it back in. By the numbers, this setting runs 46 notes across 17 bars, from G4 up to G5 in 6/8 time.
