**Green Sleeves** introduces the key of **G major** which has **one Sharp - F#**. Normally the sharp symbol is not shown when **F#** is played (but turning on **Courtesy Accidentals** from the Piano Booster setup/preferences menu will show all accidentals in the key signature). The melody is in the right hand with a simple left hand part.
**Hint:** _You can show **Courtesy Accidentals** from the PianoBooster setup/preferences menu. But remember to **turn them off** when you get more skilled._

**Scarborough Fair** spans a range of eight notes and so you will have to move fingers up the piano. Use the fingering that you feel comfortable with but ensure that you **use all your fingers** (of your right hand).
**Hint:** _Don't think about what fingers to use, just use the fingering that **comes naturally to you**._

<source>&lt;body bgcolor=#FFFFC0&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Green Sleeves&lt;/strong&gt; introduces the key of &lt;strong&gt;G major&lt;/strong&gt; which has &lt;strong&gt;one Sharp - F#&lt;/strong&gt;. Normally the sharp symbol is not shown when &lt;strong&gt;F#&lt;/strong&gt; is played (but turning on &lt;strong&gt;Courtesy Accidentals&lt;/strong&gt; from the Piano Booster setup/preferences menu will show all accidentals in the key signature). The melody is in the right hand with a simple left hand part.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hint:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;
You can show &lt;b&gt;Courtesy Accidentals&lt;/b&gt; from the PianoBooster setup/preferences menu.
But remember to &lt;b&gt;turn them off&lt;/b&gt; when you get more skilled.
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

For &lt;b&gt;Skip To My Loo&lt;/b&gt; start with both thumbs on &lt;b&gt;middle C&lt;/b&gt; and then use one finger for each white note on the piano.
So for the first two notes which are &lt;b&gt;E&lt;/b&gt; you should use the &lt;b&gt;middle finger&lt;/b&gt; of your right hand.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
This piece introduces the use of &lt;b&gt;both hands&lt;/b&gt; as the melody goes across &lt;b&gt;middle C&lt;/b&gt;.

For the notes in the &lt;b&gt;treble clef&lt;/b&gt; you always use your &lt;b&gt;right hand&lt;/b&gt;
and for the &lt;b&gt;base clef&lt;/b&gt; your &lt;b&gt;left hand&lt;/b&gt;.
Make sure you always keep using the correct finger for each note.

&lt;b&gt;Lavender's Blue&lt;/b&gt; is a simple tune in the right hand only that uses
the first six notes of the scale of C Major.
For the lowest five notes &lt;b&gt;C D E F &lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;G&lt;/b&gt; use
all the fingers or your right hand -- one for each note.
(With your &lt;b&gt;thumb&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;C&lt;/b&gt; and your &lt;b&gt;little finger&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;G&lt;/b&gt;).
Then for &lt;b&gt;A&lt;/b&gt; just stretch your &lt;b&gt;little finger&lt;/b&gt; to reach that note.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Amazing Grace&lt;/b&gt; introduces the key of &lt;b&gt;F major&lt;/b&gt; which has a &lt;b&gt;single Flat - Bb&lt;/b&gt;.
Again the flat symbol is not normally shown on the score when playing Bb.
Practice both hands separately at first and then when ready reduce the speed to 70% when trying both hands for the first time.
&lt;/p&gt;

For &lt;b&gt;Frere Jacques&lt;/b&gt; introduces the use of playing both hands together with a very simple left hand part.
First practice the &lt;b&gt;left hand&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;right hand&lt;/b&gt; parts separately.
Then when ready reduce the &lt;b&gt;speed to 70%&lt;/b&gt; and try &lt;b&gt;both hands&lt;/b&gt; together.
Again start with &lt;b&gt;both thumbs&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;Middle C&lt;/b&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;
