TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
ABRSM’s recommended tempo for this piece is 138 bpm, although according to the footnotes in the exam book, students may prefer a slower tempo, for example 126 bpm. It’s been performed on this video at tempo closer to 135 pbm, which seemed to work well. This piece contains lots of contrasting dynamics, with quite a few accents on selected notes and this really helps to bring out the cheeky flavour of this composition. It’s also useful to keep in mind the contrasting articulation, i.e. legato (smooth) and staccato (detached) - there are frequent alternations between both throughout the piece, so when practising it would be wise to try and achieve the correct touch early on in the learning process before developing any bad habits!

Thanks for this. I always find these videos useful for jazzy songs as I can’t tell if I messed up or if it just sounds like that bc it’s jazz 🤣
