Baby Shark

Introduction

Baby Shark Image

Let’s have some fun this week!  This is a silly, fun song that gives us an opportunity to show some of the skills we’ve learned so far and have a fun time doing it.

The first 4 measures are played a little differently than you’re used to so pay attention to the lesson video.  This song is played in “First Position” with an adjustment, (the 4th finger is moved up to the black key).  Check out the Piano Fundamentals page for information and tutorial videos that should help.

This is a fun, easy song to play, and who doesn’t love BABY SHARK!??!?
