The Basics #6 - Playing Songs
Using what we've learned so far to play some songs.
So far, we’ve discussed some of the basic elements of music, with suggestions about how to practice and use them. Now let’s use some of this information to begin playing songs at the piano. We’ll start with a very familiar song, Happy Birthday. Other songs that are good for this are Christmas Carols, hymns, Folk songs, Nursery rhymes, any songs with simple melodies and chord structures.
If you’ve followed me at all, you’ll be familiar with the Chordie app. Let’s jump right into it. I’m also attaching a pdf of Happy Birthday.
I’m updating all videos contained in the course. You can buy the whole course here.
