Identifying Rhythm & Syncopation in Piano Song in Eb (E Flat)

So now that we have this first passage sound, we're going to play it one more time and I'll show you it on the keyboard. If we look a the keyboard we have E flat, one, five, six, five, six, five, four, three, two, three, four, three, three, one, one, flat, three, and notice here's three, there's flat three right below it right? Or if we had sharp three it would be right above it. Keep going, flat three, two, one, seven, six, five, three, five, seven, two, one, three, five, two, one. So, a nice simple melody and you see how I'm just playing in this E flat major pattern. And now we're going to take it and run it through some different keys to show you how the same pattern makes sense no matter what key you play it in. It's still going to be the same pattern and it's very simple and it makes things a lot less complicated.
