Learning Fifth & Sixth Measures of a Piano Melody in C Major

Now we're going to take a look at our next couple of measures, and we have our a-minor chord, so we have that one down, and our next three chords are out of the f-major segment, f-major, g-minor and c segment are all on the same scale, f-major, so you can look up those. So we have a-minor, g-minor and c-seven and our melody line is 5, 6, 5,5, 6, 5,5. And you'll hear even though we're playing the same melody line, by changing the chords underneath it gives different umph to each one of those notes and we'll play that right now. Five six, five five six, five five. So even though we played that so many times it had so many different colors to it. So those are our next two measures, our a-minor and our two fives out of that fleet.
