![]() My arrangement includes the melody line, as beginning singers usually need this support. I've arranged a simple accompaniment that is very pr etty and bit more like the audio from the Lily James Cinderella. However, the easy piano arrangements above are not lively enough for a singing performance, in my opinion! I think I'll just wait a few weeks and see if it happens all on its own.Įven though this is, really, a nursery song, it is very appealing and fun to sing. Still, we aren't putting right hand and left hand together yet. Then we sang the words to verses 1 and 2 as we played the chords. I tried this with a little girl today and she was even able to close her eyes and sneak from chord to chord! ![]() As for the G chord, use a G pinch (G and F pressed together with 1 and 2). When it is time to come back up to the C chord, sneak again. Instead of finger 5, now finger 1 is on the C, and pinky (finger 5) is on F. ![]() Then, when it's time for the F chord, sneak the left hand down to that chord using the C (the one her "pinky" finger was just pressing in the C chord) as a marker. Using my own left hand as the model, I encourage a student to take HER left hand and play an OPEN C chord (just C & G without the middle of the chord) in measures 1 and 2. Now here's a fun way to help those little girls playing this song break into accompanying the melody with the chords: I OFTEN give this to young beginners who are still in the " black notes " stage, as long as they can identify notes.
