Mary Had a Little Lamb

Traditional melody

Three neighbouring notes are enough to start this familiar tune. Play the repeated notes gently and evenly.

Make a little progress

  1. Listen once and watch where the notes meet the keyboard.
  2. Set playback to half speed. Hear the right hand on its own.
  3. Choose two bars and switch on the loop.
  4. Add the left hand when the phrase feels familiar.

About this arrangement

Traditional nineteenth-century nursery melody; our own arrangement. Melody simplified and transposed; newly written sparse bass accompaniment. No lyrics or third-party recording.

The onscreen note guide simplifies notation. This is a short teaching arrangement of the melody with a sparse bass, not a full concert score.
