2.b Then try a variation: you have to change all same pitched notes in a bar and play a dotted crotchet+quaver. If you examine the score carefully, you will see that the value of notes in each bar doesn't change. Once you have done it, you can check the new score and start performing. You have also a video with the variation to help you. You will have to perform this variation in the classroom.
