Quick guide on how to read the letter notes

how to read and play the letter notes
Each group of letter notes is played from left to right, and vertical letters on the same column are played together.

The numbers in front of each line are the octave, each octave has an unique color so you can easily follow them.

Lowercase (a b c d e f g) letters are natural notes (white keys, a.k.a A B C D E F G ).
Uppercase (A C D F G) letters are the sharp notes (black keys a.k.a. A# C# D# F# G#), look at the image below to see where each letter note is on the piano keyboard.

The lines / dashes (-) between letters indicates timing to play the notes. Just listen to the audio file at the top of the post to figure out the time lenght of the dashes (usually 5-6 dashes is about 1 second)

RH / LH means Right Hand / Left Hand and it's mostly for people who play the piano, it tells them with what hand to play the lines. Also, if you want to play a easy version of the song, playing only the RH lines does exactly that, because on most songs RH notes are for melody and LH notes are for bass.

  1. You walk in the room and you're wearing a frown
    You reach for the shelf and cradle it down
    The Music Box Dancer, what does it prove
    Only that you need to see a statue that moves
    A tutu of satin, bordered with lace
    Slender lines, agile legs, a wonderland face
    Her beauty is balanced, an immovable pose
    Eternally destined to remain on her toes

    Music Box Dancer, she is only a toy
    Project upon her your dreams of wanting life's joy
    She's perched on her stand, and never will part
    A final gaze upon her, now the music will start

    You wind the doll up, it's nostalgic because
    You've been here before, so give one final pause
    To dream of the future, to reflect on the past
    Music Box Dancer start your whirling at last

    The room fills with music, such a cute song
    Watching her go 'round and 'round, she's where she belongs
    Bring joy to the watchers, spreading a glow
    Whenever wound up, she'll put on a good show

    Music Box Dancer, do you think or believe
    She could step off her box if she wanted to leave
    So easy it is, twirl around with such grace
    Staying in her circle, she remains in one place

    Such a brief moment, a small time to spend
    The dancing will slow soon, the music will end
    In real life we're plastic, nature's unfair
    How can we breathe life, how can we share
    The knowledge and insights hidden in tombs
    We're all Music Box Dancers all alone in our rooms
    We sit on our shelves where objects reside
    We don't allow the music to get right inside

    Music Box Dancer's now completely alone
    No winder or no listener, because nobody's home
    How long before someone will re-wind the spring?
