Learning the Final Measures of a Piano Melody in C Major

So now we're going to take a look at our last two measures. And our melody line is rather simple. We have six, five, six, six, five, four, three and then we land right here at the beginning. And you notice we've been really playing off this six chord for the last three measures. And then we changed the chords again and it gives it all these different tonal qualities. We have our B flat major chord which we played before and our A seventh. So we're going to play that last four measures and you'll hear it ends and how these nice chord changes in here really bring that melody together. And then again, and then again. And you're back at the top. So, a very nice melodic ending. And that's our tune in C major.
