- Cover the F#, E and D notes with the pads of your fingers
- If you squeak, you're either blowing too hard or leaking air from one of your fingers

When you get to the end of this song, repeat back to the beginning. Instead of repeating the entire song, stop when you reach the "Fine" symbol. That marks the end of the song.
