How to Play Chords from Reading Piano Sheet Music

Hello! I am Annie Brunson on behalf of Expert Village. Today we’re going to learn how to put chords under a melody. So let’s go back to our “Mary had a little lamb.” You’ll see above the melody, a C. So take your left hand and you’re going to play a C, try it. While your right hand plays a melody. And you’ll see another C once again. It changes to a G in the guitar tab. So you will go down and play a G triad. It goes back to a C. Again, you play a C, another C, G , and back to C. Now you need to practice it without pausing between each measure.
