In this piano lesson you will learn to play Mary Had A Little Lamb without the use of sheet music. We will be a little bit professional and use both hands!As you probably know Mary Had A Little Lamb is a popular nursery rhyme. Here is the first verse:Mary had a little lamblittle lamb, little lambMary had a little lambits fleece was white as snowIn When testing his invention of the phonograph in 1877 Thomas Edison used this poem and it became the first audio recording to be successfully made and played back.We will not use sheet music in this piano lesson. Instead we will use a form of piano tablature or shorter piano tab.Tablature is a form of musical notat guitar songs ion, often with numbers and letters, which tells the player where to place his fingers on a particular instrument rather than which pitches to play.First you’ll have to locate the note C on the piano. On a piano C is the first white key that is to the left of two black keys.The C we are interested in most is the C on the middle of the piano. This C is called middle C because on the piano keyboard it is right in the middle, near the keyhole.In our piano tab we will give this C note a number: 1The white key to the right of C we call 2 and so on. Let’s play some notes:1 2 3 4 5 6 7When you have played these seven notes you will come to the next C on the piano.
