Tips for playing Level 1 "Camptown Races"

This is Level 1 (beginner's 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 1 "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 only melody line (singing line) for this level. There is no harmonic support, meaning there are no other notes for you to have to coordinate between right and left hands and between different fingers. And there is no black key that you need to play on this Level 1 "Camptown Races." If you would like to try the more challenging arrangement that plays both the melody and harmonies, not just the melody line, please try Level 2 "Camptown Races."
