About "Taps":

"Taps" is a bugle call created by Daniel Butterfield that are often used for American soldier's funerals and other activities such as boy and girl scouts. Usually, it's played by a solo trumpeter. To learn more about this bugle call, please visit our page, "About the bugle call 'Taps'."

It is not necessarily a song. And therefore, usually, it doesn't come with lyrics. However since Horace Lorenzo Trim wrote lyrics to it, we included a lyrics page of his version in the PDF file.

Tips for playing Level 1 "Taps":

This arrangement on this page is at Level 1 (Beginner level) for piano. There are fingering numbers provided on every note. You'll be playing only melody notes for this level which is the way the solo trumpet player would play "Taps." There is no black key that you need to play. It is quite short and simple. As you usually hear this bugle call, please make sure to play it slowly. Usually, you hear this song in the key of B flat major. However, we changed the key to C major for beginners to be able to move their fingers easily on white keys only. You can stay in one hand-position for the entire song. After you download it, please locate the hand-position on the tutorial page.
