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: stair steps (broken chord 1-3-5) in the left hand and push-and-land chords in the right, over the F7 – E – Eb7 – Eb7 – E – F7 – E – Eb7 – Eb7 – E 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.
