Learning the Final Measures of a Piano Melody in F Major

RYAN LARSON: So now we're going to go over our last two measures and if we zoom in, we have this repeating melody here, 4, 5, 4, 5 and then we go 5, 4, 3, 2 and that brings us to the top of our tune. And you'll hear this nice melodic motif where we just keep going to this 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5. And you'll hear it change as we play all these chords. We're playing it with a D7, E flat major and then a D7 again. Again, all these chords you've learnt we had just heard for maybe 5 or 6 chords in total. So, it wasn't too bad. And we'll go through here and play this now. So, we got--we play it from the beginning of the last line. And then you have to top the tune. And we'll go through and play through the whole tune in just a minute. And you can go through and see if you can match it up at all.
