Teach Yourself Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Welcome to your piano journey with Chordzy.

You'll focus on playing music first. That's why, before we throw any theory at you, you're going to figure out how to play a basic song, all on your own.

If that sounds daunting... don't worry.

Chordzy lets you progress at your own pace. It encourages you to repeat an exercise, providing feedback without judgement. Every song has many skill levels. You're about to play your very first song, on the very first level.

Why start here? Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star is catchy and familiar.

If you listen closely, you'll notice the "Alphabet Song" (a-b-c-d-... e-f-g-... h--i--j--k--...) and "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" are actually the same notes.

With this beginner piano song, you'll first discover the melody by exploring the piano yourself.

Technically Mozart didn't compose "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star." Still, the classical composer's name is often mentioned alongside it. That's because Mozart turned this simple melody into not just one... but several timeless variations.

The original melody was a French pastoral song from 1740, and adapted by Mozart into 12 different variations.

By playing it on the piano, you're connecting to a long history of musical culture.

You'll just be guessing the notes... based on what you hear in the speakers.

You probably will want to use your right hand to guess, regardless of which "handed" you are.

When we add the left hand, it'll make sense.

When you press play, the game will begin.
