A beginner level arrangement of this familiar traditional melody which is an excellent piece for the keyboard player to study. In this version the melody is played by the right hand and the chords by the left hand. The aim in playing the piece is simply to get both hands playing together. Letter names are indicated in the noteheads, right hand fingering is in place and there are graphics to indicate how the chords should be played. The realisation plays back at 60 dotted quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. Don’t be afraid to practice away from an instrument learning and memorising the patterns of the music and developing the coordinating of the movements between the fingers and hands. This is music that can be played on either a keyboard or piano. Players should be aiming to play the melody legato (smoothly).
