PROJECT: Now that you know some more notes, you can try to play this simple song all on your own!

“A,B,C” only uses  Bass Clef A, B and middle C.

1. Print the pdf:  “A,B,C” – click here for the pdf

2. Visual Scan: Look over the entire sheet naming the letter for each note you see.  Check for quarter notes, half notes and whole notes. (Learned in lessons 6 and 7)

3. At the Piano:  Find the keys you will be using on the piano keyboard.

• On your sheet write a 1 in the tiny box above the first note, we will place Right Hand thumb on that note.
• And on line 3 write a 2 in the tiny box below Left Hand A.  We will use Left Hand finger 2 to play this note.

4.  Play the song slowly.

• name each note as you play
• count the beats for each note
• sing the words!

Yay!  You did it!
