Learning Fifth & Sixth Measures of a Piano Melody in Eb (E Flat)

So we're on our next two measures and we have this very simple, easy melodic line here. We have five, six, five, five, six, five, five, it's very simple right inside the scale we're playing out of and what's interesting is we have these different chords over the same melody and it gives different texture to the same melody line. So we have C minor for a measure, then we have E flat minor, E flat seven. Now these two chords come out of A flat major and if you search for A flat major on Expert Village, B flat minor and E flat seven will come up as your two, five out of E flat major and C minor we already searched for before up here. So we already have that chord down. Moving our fingers. So we can play that now. So again, we have five, six, five, five, six, five, five. So those are our next two measures. Very simple melody and some nice pretty chords.
