Practice Tips and Points
Start by slowly practicing just the right-hand melody. Focus on finger numbers, and your fingers will naturally remember the movements through repetition.
Once you get used to it, add accompaniment with the left hand (such as C–G–C) to make it sound more complete.
It’s also recommended to hum the lyrics while playing. This helps develop rhythm and pitch sense.
