In this week's video, Maestro The Judge challenges the coordination and dexterity of Simon and Dorothy's first and third fingers. He also takes the note reading challenge up a notch.
The judge starts to introduce the concept of counting beats and finger technique. Simon and Dorothy think that they are learning a song but the judge has cleverly disguised what would be a tedious finger exercise into an exciting piece of music.
