If you are interested in this song, we have written an article on the subject presenting the complete tutorial and the free piano sheet music of Twinkle Twinkle Little star on piano. You can also find it in our ranking of the best piano songs for kids.
When you play this sequence of notes on the piano, you are actually playing the entire right hand of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Practice playing all of these notes one after the other in a loop. After a while, your playing will become fluid.
Now that you have mastered the left and right hands of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, you need to play both hands at the same time. To do this, you can watch the following tutorial video, which shows the notes to play and the corresponding letters:
Jingle Bells is a traditional song generally used at Christmas time. It was composed by James Lord Pierpont and published for the first time in 1857 by Oliver Ditson in the city of Boston in the United States.
This long succession of notes allows you to play the whole melody of the song. You will see that after a few notes, you will recognize the tune very quickly and will have the impression to dive back into the fantastic universe of one of the best sagas of all times.

As for The Lord of the Rings Theme, this sequence of letters is very long to realize. We advise you to play it little by little. Once you have mastered one part, you can move on to the next part. This technique will allow you to better assimilate the order of the notes to play with the right hand for the song The A Team.
Once you have managed to play the whole right hand, you must, as usual, learn the left hand. Fortunately, there are a few less notes (phew!) for this part. Here are the keys you need to press in succession to play the accompaniment for The A Team:
This is a long sequence for a left hand to accompany the melody, but it will fit eventually, I promise!
As for the right hand, work in small parts in order to gradually assimilate the letters of the notes to be played.
When it comes to playing the piano, pianists have thousands of chords to select from, with some chords being more popular than others. Check out some of the most common chords in the piano chord chart below, or keep reading to find out more about piano chords.
All piano chords contain a root note -- this is the note the chord is named after -- as well as one or more additional notes. Basic piano chords often consist of only two or three notes, while the more advanced chords tend to incorporate even more notes.
The most common type of keyboard or piano chord is a triad, or three-note chord. A triad contains a root note and two other notes, most often the notes that produce the intervals of a third and fifth above the root note.
One way to get the basic shape of a triad is to place your thumb and fingers on adjacent white keys and push down with your thumb, middle finger, and pinky. Learning this technique will set you up to play various basic piano chords with ease.
Piano notes follow a pattern of black and white keys, with a group of two black keys close together followed by a group of three black keys close together. This pattern repeats across the keyboard, and we use it to identify the notes.
Minor chords, like major chords, contain three basic keyboard notes: a root note, a third, and a fifth. To play a minor chord, select any root note, then count three half-steps up to the third. From the third, count two whole-steps (or four half steps) to find the fifth.
Due to the limitations of the in-game piano, there are some melodies which are impossible to play on the Raft Piano, including songs which use Sharp or Flat accidentals (the black keys). Please refrain from adding melodies that cannot be played on the Piano, or require Sharps or Flats.
Notating the correct rhythm of a song can be very difficult. The notation system is therefore limited to marking notes that should be shorter or longer. Because of this, knowing a song by ear is recommended to be able to play it correctly with the music notation on this page.
Not so hard once they get the hang of it... now my students, after choosing a song, quickly glance up at the top of the page to see if it's "Grandma's House" or "Dog House" on the right or left, and place their fingers with NO ASSISTANCE from me. WOW.
Just in time for the Christmas holidays, this song may be familiar already to your students. I like to prepare students for folk or traditional songs by warning them that it might sound "different" from other versions.
Because this is a "folk" tune, every region or country where this song is known might use slightly different - or VERY different - notes! This is only half of the piece, but it is probably enough to satisfy your little beginners.
I prefer for them to sing the song lyrics, but also to be able to count the notes. Usually, we will practice a new song with "drumsticks" (pencils) on the piano lid as we sing, alternating hands as the song calls for one hand or the other.
This next piece, Morning Sun Upon the Mountains, has a bit of an old-timey hymn-like flavor. The chords formed by using 2 notes at a time have a happy sound, just like the simple lyrics. This song has two pages!
Here in Alaska we really do see whales quite a bit. Even so, people in my town may pull over to the side of the road and watch from their cars or trucks when whales are passing down the local waterways.
This song poses a bit of a challenge, because it moves up an octave after just 8 beats. It stays there until the repeat, then drops back down in line one again, and back up after 8 beats, AGAIN.
I think they like that these songs have a VERY SHORT learning curve! In fact, once they understand hand placement, some of the songs can be played instantly. Then they can pay more attention to counting...
Snakes - the next step after students have conquered Wormies, this more intricate set of exercises is longer, with smaller note heads, but still moving just one step at a time in either direction
Snakes Go for a Walk (also called "Crickets Go Hopping") - More exercises like Wormies and Snakes, but with "skips" hiding amongst the steps in each line. Line 1 has one hidden skip; line 2 has 2 hidden skips - you get the idea!
This beautiful song book for piano & voice "Esther, For Such a Time as This", available as a digital download, tells the riveting story of the time when Jews in ancient Persia faced a foe named Haman, and how a brave young queen risked her life to save her people.
And when they start reading white-key notes on the staff, this is a fun easy resource to say each week, "Choose a new black-key song at home this week and figure it out to show me next lesson!" They will be spending more time at the piano.
Kim in Washington:
My son is hooked...I've been introducing piano to my son on and off for a year or so, but he's not had much interest. Then I gave him "Monsters Everywhere". He loved playing it with the organ sound on our piano. He memorized it that week and I'm printing off the other Halloween songs to keep him going. I love the detailed instructions on teaching since he is my first student! Thanks so much.
Dana:
That is so neat that your son has experienced the magic and mystery of music through this little song. That is so exciting to me! Thanks for writing, Kim!
Piano Genie was programmed without coding in any theoretical rules about harmony or composition. Its AI is based on a neural network that was trained with 1400 performances from the International Piano e-Competition. We can say that through this training it learned on its own, and by example, what piano music should sound like.
The Piano Genie AI was built by first creating two separate neural networks: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder receives a melody (a sequence of notes) represented as the numbers 1-88 (the keys of the piano) as input and produces a sequence with the same length but using only the numbers 1 through 8. The decoder reverses the process by taking this simplified sequence and outputting a melody that once again uses the different 88 notes a piano can produce. By connecting the encoder and decoder together the melody passes through a sort of funnel.
