The Note A

On the recording there are five drumbeats to introduce this song.

D.C al Fine

Over bar 24, the instruction D.C. Al Fine is written. This means that you play the song again from the beginning until you reach the word Fine (bar 16).

When a note is repeated in a bar, no fingering is written. Play it with the same fingering as the previous note. For example, in bar 12, play both A notes with the fifth finger of your right hand.

Things to Remember

  • You can now play the songs Pop Goes the Weasel and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star on pages 9 and 10 of Supplementary Songbook A.
