This famous study by Fernando Sor gives us the the challenge of separating melody from harmony and bass while all being bundled up into continuous eighth notes.

One of the most powerful techniques you can use to clarify the melodic part is to isolate the melody, play it separately and even sing the melody too.

In this podcast I look into this useful practice tool and discuss why singing and playing the melody can be so useful.

If you know other pieces that suit this practice technique please share it with us in the comments below.
