Play the full song with sheet music
The accompaniment with every note named, bar by bar: the bar sheet shows each note as a bar on the staff with its letter inside, so you can accompany Last Night I Dreamed Of Heaven without reading music. The left hand plays tumble down (broken chord 8-5-1) and the right hand hopscotch bells.
Last Night I Dreamed Of Heaven accompaniment in letter notes
The A7 – D – G – D loop with tumble down in the left hand and hopscotch bells in the right. Notes struck together are joined with a plus; C4 is middle C.
How to read the bar sheet
The player above shows the treble staff (right hand) over the bass staff (left hand). Every note is a bar as long as it sounds, at its place on the staff, with its name inside, and the music scrolls past a line that marks now. The chord names run along the top.
Start with the left hand alone at a slow speed, then the right, then both. When the letters feel easy, try the sheet music.
