In this style, your left hand first plays the bass note and your right hand follows with a chord or a melody note. In the two hands exercise (level 4), you can get a feel of the accompaniment style in the song. You don’t actually have to move your hand around at all, as the exercise has only five different notes. I recommend you pay attention to which fingers you use for pressing the keys. In the melody exercise (level 3), you can play the melody in both parts with your right hand. It has only two different parts and there is a comfortable amount of repetition, which makes it a very fruitful song for fun piano exercises! It’s a beautiful song and almost fragile, and the piano is the perfect instrument to express these emotions. In this song, you, as the pianist, really get to be in the spotlight, as there is no one else accompanying the singer.
