Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the piano: the notes, step by step
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star uses only six notes and several of its lines repeat, which makes it a good first song. Below are the notes line by line, in letters and in the color of each key, and above is the piano to play it on: the next key lights up, so there is nothing to read.

How to read the notes
Read from left to right, like a sentence. Each tile is a key: the color and the animal tell you which one, and the letter tells you the note. If a note repeats, play the same key twice. On a computer keyboard the notes are on the A S D F G H row: C on A, D on S, E on D, F on F, G on G and A on H.
Playing it on a real piano
On a piano or keyboard, C is the white key just to the left of a group of two black keys. From there, the other notes are the white keys that follow to the right: D, E, F, G and A.
