Please don’t be put off by the nature of this song. It is a simple child’s tune, but it works extremely well as a practice piece. You will learn to play the melody in your right hand, and the chords in your left hand.
You already know the rhythm of the song, so you don’t have to learn about rhythm right now.
Just learn the notes. Each version of the song adds more color. See how you do with this.
Right hand learned… then left hand… then put the treble and bass together, slowly, until you have it down pat.
Below is the same song, but this time with full chords. As we stack more notes, the sound gets richer and fuller. Just a a choir sounds much fuller than a solo singer. You should read the page on how to build chords.
Below, the computer plays the song for you, so you have the full chord version’s sound in your head.
NOTE: The bottom note of each chord can be played as a stand alone note if you’d like.
