One Hand Holds, One Hand Sings

Hold a simple chord while the other hand plays notes.

One idea

Plain-language explanation

Your left hand can be the floor; your right hand can be the storyteller. Start by holding one low C with your left hand while your right hand plays C D E D C. Two hands do not need to be equally busy.

Do this now

Three tiny steps

  1. Put your left little finger on a low C.
  2. Hold that key down gently.
  3. Play C D E D C above it with your right hand.

Two-minute practice

Try it yourself

Hold the low C for one full four-count while your right hand plays the five-note melody once.
