Looking at the piano you can see that the same notes are repeated many times. So far you have learned the notes C D E F and G on the treble staff, all played with the right hand. Notes played by the left hand are usually notated on the bass staff. The following diagram illustrates the notes C D E F and G on the bass staff. These notes sound exactly one octave lower than the same five notes in the treble staff.
Here is the first part of the song Aura Lee written in the bass staff and then the treble staff. Sing the names of the notes out loud as you play them.
Now play the following example which uses both hands together. Listen carefully and try to play the notes with both hands at the same time rather than being slightly separate or split.
