style.

along with the pre recorded melody line to check your own phrasing,
articulation, dynamics and breathing.

off the lead track when you feel confident to play without it.

the duet part with a teacher or friend, or play the duet part along
with the lead track. This can be used for ensemble performance in
examinations.
