    If I asked you to play a C, E and G all at exactly the same time with your left hand, would you be able to do it?

    Thanks! If I asked you to play the song, "Mary Had a Little Lamb" starting with the middle finger of your right hand, on the "E" above middle "C" and without using any music, would you be able to play that song?

    C, E and G are the notes that the "C" chord, is composed of by the way, just so you know. That is one of the chords that we could use in your song.

    I believe you when you say that you are a fast learner!

    Do you know the song "Mary Had a Little Lamb?" I'm just trying to figure out how well you can play so that you will be able to play your song, after we finalize what the writing of the words to it is going to be.

    If you mean the music for your song that might be written out, no, not on paper. But, the sound of the music for it comes to me immediately when I see the words that can be put to music. It can be put to actual, printed music later. Writing a song is a process that can sometimes take quite a bit of time.

    Your song will take at least a few more, different chords in order for it to sound the best. If you can play the "C" chord, then that's a good start!

    What I'm trying to get to here, in the immediate future, is for you to be able to play, at least a little bit of your song using that Virtual Keyboard that I showed to you.

    All the notes that we are going to use for "Mary Had a Little Lamb" will be between the two C's on the keyboard.

    Below, are the notes to "Mary Had a Little Lamb", first verse. Please play it and let me know how it goes.

    E, D, C, D, E, E, E,
    D, D, D, E, G, G,

    The words to those same notes are as follows:

    Mary had a little lamb,
    Little lamb, little lamb.
    Mary had a little lamb,
    It's fleece was white as snow.
