I'll teach you about some of those in later lessons.įor the next song, you can practice London Bridges Falling Down. We are using simple triads now, but there are many other chords which add notes on top and can give more nuance to your playing. The key to this exercise is to use your ears to hear which chord is best in which spot. Five chords really like to lead back to the root, which is what we want. But so does A, and A is the fifth chord of the scale. When we get to the E, we have a number of choices. So let's start that verse with a G chord and move back down to a D when we get to the F# in the melody. Let's change back to a D chord when the melody hits the word 'star'. The E minor chord doesn't really sound right, neither does B minor. Let's try all of them and see which one fits better. When the melody gets to the B, we need to change the chord, but which one do we use? We want a chord in the G major scale that has a B in it. Knowing that the song is in D major let's us know that we will be using the C# and the F# instead of the C and F.įinished off the rest of the song by listening to the pitch as we sing and picking out the notes on the piano gives us D D A A F# F# D as the notes for "like a diamond in the sky". It sounds more correct doesn't it? We also notice that our ear is sort of pushed to the D when the melody is playing, so there is a good chance that our song is in the key of D major. Try playing the same phrase with an F# instead of an F. Listen closely and see which note sounds off. The poem, which is in couplet form, was first published in 1806 in Rhymes for the Nursery, a collection of poems by Taylor and her sister Ann. It combines the tune of the 1761 French melody 'Ah vous dirai-je, Maman' with an English poem, 'The Star', by Jane Taylor. That is a good hint that the song is not in the key of C. 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' is one of the most popular English nursery rhymes. You can try playing it as G G F F E E D, but that won't quite sound right. We figured it out using our ear and our piano! The best part is, we didn't need sheet music to tell us that. So, for the first verse we have D D A A B B A. What about the three notes that make up "little star"? Well, if we sing it we'll find that the melody goes up a little for the word little and down a bit for the word star.

So we know that the next twinkle in the first verse is made up of two A notes. You'll work your way up the scale until you get to the fifth interval, A, before you find the right note. Well, let's start making our way up the scale and see which note fits. The notes change however for the second twinkle. We know the first two notes are the same, and they make up the first twinkle. Sing the song and pay attention to the pitch of the notes. I'm going to use this song as more of an exercise to train your ears than a song lesson.
