Don’t Bother Writing In Bass Staff Notes
I don’t write notation onto their music , but scratch some symbols up above the melody: “G pinch chord” and “G” & “F” with circles and “1” & “2” drawn inside the circles, for fingering.
Changing chords is much harder than playing just one chord, so it will take a little more time to polish. I’ll take over the melody during the lesson at first, so they can focus on the new chord change.
This arrangement adds the chord symbols:

Difficulty : The Dissociation Of The Two Hands
When starting to play the piano, the dissociation of the hands is one of the most difficult exercises. This exercise requires our brain to precisely manage different gestures with both hands, and it is not something it is used to dealing with.
Thats why weve broken down this tutorial article into three distinct sections: learning the left hand notes, the right hand notes and finally both hands at the same time. This allows a progressive learning of the song.
S Tips And Techniques
To make this hand-dissociation exercise a little easier, there are a few techniques and tricks.
As mentioned in the previous section, you can start by working on the hands separately to get used to the song, its notes and its tempo. Thats what we did in this piano tutorial for the song Mary Had a Little lamb.
Once you have done this, you can start playing with both hands. We recommend that you start by playing short passages of the song. For instance, you could start with the first 5 seconds. Once you have mastered that passage with both hands, move on to the next 5 seconds. Once you have that second part, go through the first 10 seconds of the song.
This method promotes gradual learning and avoids going too fast and getting discouraged.
You will see that after a few days, this technique will pay off and you will learn more and more quickly.
At La Touche Musicale, we call this technique the learning loop. Noticing the effectiveness of this technique on piano learning, we decided to integrate a feature into our online piano learning app that allows you to loop any part of the track and learn it very quickly.

How To Play Mary Had A Little Lamb Easy Piano Music
1. Sing the song together as you play the notes.
2. If you have a xylophone let the child play the tune next as you point to the notes in the correct order. The physical movement helps them to grasp how the notes actually step up and down.
3. Using the printable sheet music, play the following little game together. Ask the child to trace with their finger the path of the notes sliding it either up or down without taking their finger off the paper. As they move it say up-up, down-down accordingly. Warn them to watch out for where the notes hop between lamb and its from E to C. Make it sound vocally fun with exaggerated ups, downs and a huge fuss over the hop!
4. Explain that there are four beats in a bar or measure and count 4 beats in together before you start each time. Help the child to place their fingers over the correct notes. Talk them through each phrase of the song line by line pointing to the notes as they try to play them. Depending on the age of the child they may need varying levels of help and attempts to manage this.
5. Once the child has mastered playing the tune on their own, there is a simple teachers accompaniment which sounds lovely when played as a little duet. This gives a lot of pleasure to fledgling pianists!

Adding In The V7 Chord
The next change we make is adding a little G7 chord that I call a “pinch” chord.
It is just a 2-note inversion of the G7 chord.
The LH stays in its C chord position, but presses G & F together with the 1 & 2 fingers. This doesn’t happen until students are very solid with the I chord, C.
See measure 3:

Sometimes You Just Have To Give Them What’s Good For Them
Though you would think children might turn up their noses at a nursery-rhyme song, only the occasional teenager looks mortified…
I always preface the piece with “Now I’m going to give you a world-famous song I give to all my students, even ‘grown-ups.'”
And the pleasure of mastering a recognizable tune is such that they all end up enjoying it – they are enjoying experiencing the skill of their fingers producing a real melody.
