The notes are introduced one at a time beginning with right hand Red Note. The Red Note has the number 1 on it. So use finger 1 (your thumb) to play the "red" piano key. When you see the zig-zag rest symbol, stop playing and say "Freeze" or "Rest", and then move on to play the next note. Try playing through Red Note. Click the player below to hear what it should sound like. |
