A short right-hand song

Learning goal

Plays a short song in time in right-hand five-finger position with the correct finger numbers.

Topic

The five fingers of your right hand fall on the keys like raindrops.

Prior knowledge

Five-finger position, quarter notes and half notes.

Teacher note

First practice the finger numbers in the air on a ‘silent piano’. The first two steps are for learning; the last step is a performance in time. When playing in time, notes should come on the beat and half notes should be held long enough.
