2. Follow the music as shown in the video below. Finger 1 (thumb) will play Middle C and Finger 3 (middle finger) will play Anchor E.
NOTE: In Hot Cross Buns and Mary Had a Little Lamb, the 2nd finger (pointer) will play the note in between C and E. Even though we know this is D, we are going to say "step up" or "step down". We save saying D for Anchor D, which is several lessons away and not this same D.
Also, the student may play these MUCH slower, even 20 seconds per note.
