Analyzing Chords of Piano Melody in D Major

Now we are going to go over our next 2 measures, and we have B minor, and you can reference that if you search for B minor or if you search for A major. That is out of A major. D flat 7 is out of D flat major. And we have D major right here. So you can search for those chords. And you can just open another window and search on Expert Village, but our melody line here is 3, 2, 3, sharp 4, 5, 7. Then the 6. So, if you look at my hands, we have 3, 2, 3, sharp 4, 5, 7, 6. So again with the chords; 3, 2, 3, sharp 4, 5, 7, 6. A nice simple melody and I will play our first 4 bars now. [play piano] This is your first 4 measures of our tune.
