This song uses sharps or a wide range, so it uses the full keyboard.

Play in time

90 BPM · 3/2

The metronome ticks at the song's tempo. Play for score: after one bar of count-in, hit each key on its beat.

Press the glowing key. It waits for you.

The bottom row runs on into the top row's first notes, so these keys play the same note: , = Q · L = 2 · . = W · ; = 3 · / = E
