Tips for playing Level 2 "Camptown Races"

This is Level 2 (very easy level) of "Camptown Races" for piano solo. However, you or someone else can sing along. The separate lyrics page is included in the PDF file.

To play Level 2 "Camptown Races," first, please find a hand position on the tutorial page after you download it. There are fingering numbers provided on every note on the music score. You'll be playing the melody line (singing line) and harmony parts that accompany the melody for this level. Therefore, this level of "Camptown Races" requires a lot more coordination between right-hand and left-hand and between different fingers. There is one black key which is F sharp (F#) with the left hand that you need to play a few times. When you see the sharp sign on the music score, please go to the black key which is also described on the tutorial page. If you would like to try the easier version first which plays only the melody line, try the free Level 1 "Camptown Races."
