THE KEYBOARD

A scale is 7 notes in ascending or descending order with the first note repeated as the 8th

note to form the given scale

The “ C” scale is made up of the notes mentioned above

We get a note when we press one single key on the key board

When we hold 3 or more notes together at the same time we form a chord

Sharp(#) – sharp means half a note higher than any given note eg. C – C# D --D#

Flat(b)- flat means half a note lower than any given note eg.A- Ab B- Bb

The 2 notes that don’t have sharp notes are E and B

Vers

I had a dream the other night, when everything was still;

I thought I saw Susanna dear, a-coming down the hill.

A red red rose was in her cheek, a tear was in her eye,

I said to her “Susanna, girl, Susanna, don't you cry”.

Chorus -

Oh! Susanna, Oh don't you cry for me,

For I come from A-labama with- my banjo on my knee;
