Letters on the keyboard

Every tile is one key. The letter is the note's name, the coloured strip matches the key below, and a dark tile is a black key. Read the top row with your right hand; the smaller row underneath is the left hand.

Wider tiles last longer and a line through a tile means hold it. New to letters? Start with the top row only: switch off "Left hand".

Press Listen to hear the song while the letters light up, then Practice: the sheet waits on each letter until you press that note, on your computer keyboard or on the keys that open under the sheet.

Middle C is C4. The letter on a tile is the key to press; a dark tile is a black key (a sharp or flat).

The right hand opens with D G A B♭ C D D C D E♭ C D. The full melody is above, one phrase per line, with the left hand underneath in smaller letters.
