Why do we learn INTERVALS? This is essential to help us in Sight Reading Musical Notes. Here is a tutorial video I made explaining what INTERVALS are.

Playing 1 note on the left hand Playing 3 notes on the left hand. I have added hands together parts in our previous songs for your practice.

I hope these exercises can really help you in pursuing piano playing. Remember, Roman is not built in one day. We need a lot of determination and patience in learning how to master piano playing Happy learning!
