What the sheet music shows
The grand staff: the right hand on the treble staff, the left hand on the bass staff, with the chord names above and a finger number on each note (1 is the thumb). It is the accompaniment: little-hill climb (broken chord 1-3-5-1) in the left hand, with the right hand free for the melody, over the Bm7 – E7 – Amaj7 – F#7 chords.
Press play and a cursor follows the music. Above it, Colours paints each note in its key’s colour and Note names writes its letter on its head.
