Keyboard 1

Before you start playing, get the keyboard set up with your Chromebook!

In this level of Keyboard study, you will learn some basic melodies and your first chords. You may move at your own pace, but you must master each song before moving on to the next.

1. 5-Note Scale, Right Hand (Treble Clef)

Like all scales, I've given you the note names for this scale. If you need help with any of the upcoming songs, check back to this scale.

2. 5-Note Scale, Left Hand (Bass Clef)

3. Hot Cross Buns, Right Hand (Treble Clef)

Remember, check the 5-note scales if you have trouble remembering the notes.

When notes are stacked on top of each other, they should be played at the same time. These are called chords.
