Music · MIDI Keyboard · Lesson 8
Play a Tiny Melody
Use one finger per key to play a five-note melody.
One idea
Plain-language explanation
A melody is notes in a line that your ear remembers. We start with five nearby notes because your hand has five fingers. The goal is not a famous song; it is making each next note on purpose.
Do this now
Three tiny steps
- Rest your right thumb on C.
- Give one finger to each key: C D E F G.
- Play C D E D C slowly, one note at a time.
Two-minute practice
Try it yourself
Play C D E D C three times. If you miss a key, pause, find C again, and restart kindly.
