    About Bonus Songs

    Email: freepianolessons@hotmail.com

    This is a free bonus song. The information correlates with the material taught in
    your free piano lessons, however some new material is taught in some
    of the bonus songs..
    You will understand how to play the melody (right hand) part of this song after
    completing lesson 2 of the free lessons.
    You will understand how to play the bass (left hand) part of this song after
    completing lesson 3 of the free lessons.
    This is a Show me how approach, rather than a Teach me how approach.
    Therefore, there is no note reading involved, which makes learning a song much
    faster. However, in order to learn any of the bonus songs, you will need to already
    know what the song sounds like, so you can mimmick its rhythm.
    Good luck and have fun!

    Instructions
    How to use the Show Me How Method

    1. Place your right hand in the position shown and play the numbers without
    moving out of that position. The numbers are written above the lyrics.
    2. Your left hand will play the chord (shown in a cirlce) under the lyrics.

    G7 F

    3. Play the chord with the lyric and number that is directly aligned above it.
    Practice Tips:
    1. Practice the entire song with your right hand before adding the left hand.
    (Give yourself a few days to feel and hear an improvement)
    2. Practice the chords with the left hand until you feel comfortable with them.
    (This may take as little as a few days up to a couple weeks.)
    3. It is very helpful to hum or sing the melody as you play the song.
    Caution:
    Take your time and enjoy the process. Do not rush it. It will take practice to
    be able to change positions without missing a beat in the song.
