Lesson Overview

Right Hand Melody

The lesson begins with the melody on the right hand. We'll start from middle C, moving up to F. Here are the notes:

1. First Part:

   • F, F, F, E♭, A♭, B♭, F, F, F, E♭, A♭, B♭

   Repeat this melody for the right hand.

2. Second Part:

   • F, E♭, F, F, E♭, A♭, B♭, F, F, F, E♭, A♭, B♭

   This part uses the same melody structure.

3. Third Part:

   • E♭, A♭, G♭, A♭, G♭, F, D♭, A♭, G♭, G♭, G♭, F, D♭

   Again, repeat this melody.

Left Hand Chords

Now, let’s incorporate the left hand. We'll be using a few chords throughout the song:

1. First and Second Parts:

   • D♭ Major: D♭, F, A♭
   • B♭ Minor: B♭, D♭, F

   The left hand chords play along with the right hand's melody, coming in alongside the right hand notes.

2. Third Part:

   • A♭ Major: A♭, C, E♭
   • G♭ Major: G♭, B♭, D♭
   • D♭ Major: D♭, F, A♭

   As you play the right hand, these left hand chords will create harmony.

Putting it All Together

Once you have the right hand melody and left hand chords down, try playing the sections together.

Adding Your Personal Touch

Feel free to improvise and add some decorative patterns or rhythmic variations. You can use octave bass in your left hand or pedal for added depth.

Try different harmonizations to enrich the texture of the piece. This can lead to a more unique version of the song.
