Songs you can actually play today.
The notes light up as they sound, on a staff and on your instrument at the same time. Every song comes at three levels, so the same tune grows with you.
Jingle Bells
Four levels, four open chords and no barre anywhere. Turn the guitar on and it strums behind the piano.
Open song →Mary Had a Little Lamb
Three adjacent notes for most of it and only two chords underneath. The easiest place to start.
Open song →Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Six notes, three chords, and a tune everyone already knows — which means you can hear immediately when you have got it wrong.
Open song →Ode to Joy
The most recognisable tune in classical music, and it sits inside five notes. One dotted rhythm to watch for.
Open song →How these work
One song, three levels
Rather than a library of songs you play once, each piece has a difficulty ladder. You come back to the same tune and it asks more of you.
Melody
Right hand only, one note at a time. On guitar, the same tune on two strings.
Plus bass
The left hand holds a single note while the right keeps moving. Two hands, minimal load.
Plus chords
Full triads underneath. This is where it stops being an exercise and starts being music.
