This is No. 1 from Practical Piano Exercises, Op. 599 by Carl Czerny. Often this Op. 599 is titled in English as "Practical Exercises for Beginners" or "Practical Method for Beginners". However, we titled it as "Practical Piano Exercises" and removed "for Beginners" from the title. Only the exercises from No. 1 through No. 10 of Op. 599 are considered for beginners. After that, they get more advanced. Please notice that both clefs are in the treble clef. And both hands stay in C 5-finger scale / or hand position. That means your right-hand thumb will be on C and left-hand pinky (finger 5) will be on C. On this score, there is no fingering number on the repeated note. You may use the same finger that you used previously or a different finger. Using a different finger is used often for the conventional classical training. However, if you would like to practice staying in a particular 5-finger position you may use the same finger on the repeated note.

There are two volumes of our songbook. We present the easiest songs in the first volume and the slightly more advanced songs in the second. You, your kids, or your students will have the opportunity to jump right into the music immediately. Music bells create an amazing sound and there is no need to worry about being in tune or finger position. It's a great instrument for beginners of any age. The unique advantage of bell sets is the fact that each note is created by an individual bell, so the notes that are not used in a particular song can be removed and the student has a greater chance for success. A handbell orchestra acts as one instrument, with each musician responsible for their particular notes, sounding their assigned bells whenever those notes appear in the music. Give each participant one or two bells and ask them to join in a simple melody. Independently, whether the player has musical knowledge or not, the band will sound harmoniously with just a little bit of training. Most solfeggio teachers advise that it's better to begin not with a piano, but with a simpler and more accessible instrument. However, like other "serious" musical instruments, bells can help in 1) teaching note duration, 2) understanding different pitches, 3) recognizing different musical scales, and 4) the acquisition of a sense of rhythm and melody. If you are a beginner, playing by note can be difficult. It is easier to follow color-coded circles with note letters. Just by following the color circles, you will sound like an experienced musician. All songs were written with circles in the musical staff, and there are no stems or flags - only notes on the line - to keep it simple. This book was written with beginners in mind. Important! Our color chromatic scale corresponds to the chakra system. Each chakra is said to vibrate at a different frequency and is associated with a particular color and particular music note. The color of the bells or resonator blocks must be the same as the color of the bells below. C (Do) - red, D (Re) - orange, E (Mi) - yellow, F (Fa) - green, G (Sol) - light blue, A (La) - blue, B (Ti) - violet, C8 (Do) - white List of Songs A la Ronda Ronda Acka Backa Apple, Apple on the Tree Are You Sleeping?
