Playing Solo pieces

Most of the program the student is playing the accompaniment part - and that is not always sufficient!

We will mark it on the round neck and will use a RED pen for this action:

Using two colors Black and Red, on the instrument and on the music-papers we can make quite a lot as the left hand will move over the numbers accordingly to the colors.
