Sometimes you just feel like playing a song on the piano! You know, with no sheet music, just freedom of expression. Give it a try like, like Stu and Sniper here. And then go on to your second piano lesson. Enjoy!
I've started back teaching piano lessons this Fall. My piano students love The Beatles. Introducing them to some theory, with The Circle of Fifths and incorporating songs in the Key of F have been a great beginning for many!
We're going Counter Clock-wise around the Circle, and since the Key of C is a bit too easy for some, I've chosen to go around the Circle of Fourths!
Hey Jude is in the Key of F. Here's the chord chart:
