Frolicking

Since I've stretched your mind a little in the previous song, I won't overwork you too hard in this song:

1. New note: In last measure of the treble staff (right hand) you will see a note with a little blue mark on it's stem...that is high B. It will be the 7th note to the right of middle C, counting middle C. If you are unsure, click here to view a diagram.

2. The left hand of this song shows you a new pattern of broken chords. Play your left hand of the first measure only, notice that each group of 4 eighth notes is a pattern of the C chord. (C-G-E-G) Look at measure 2, I marked in red the first group of 4 eighth notes...that is a pattern of the F chord. (C-A-F-A) In the 4th measure is the same pattern using the G7 chord. (B-G-F-G) Play through the entire song with the left hand several times...

3. As always, I must remind you to pay attention to the fingering.. Measure 1 has a "thumb under" movement. Measure 3 has a "second finger over" movement.

4. Those of you who have access to support material will find more songs utilizing this new broken chord pattern. It is a commonly used pattern.
