The Morning Report: easy piano accompaniment in letter notes
By Elton John
- Ab major
- 4/4
- 84 BPM
- 1997
- Medium
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 The Morning Report without reading music. The left hand plays ping-pong bounce (broken chord 8-5) and the right hand deep-breath chords.
The Morning Report accompaniment in letter notes
The Ab – Db – Ab – Bb loop with ping-pong bounce in the left hand and deep-breath chords 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.
