Let's learn some chords
A chord is three notes played together. These four are enough to accompany a tune you already know.
A sequence for Twinkle, Twinkle
Sing the words and play the chord written beside them. The pattern is C, C, F, C, F, C, G, C. That is a I–IV–V song in the key of C, which is the usual first key on the piano.
