Helpful Suggestions

Sound: This piece introduces another new Pitch: A. It also includes all of the other pitches we have covered so far: C, D, E, F, and G. You can find the fingerings here.
When pushing down the A key, use the side of your finger instead of the flat part of the finger.

Rhythm: Your time signature is two-four time, which means that there are two beats in a measure and the quarter note is equal to one beat.
To make sure that you are playing at a steady tempo, play along with MetronomeBot's talking metronome in duple meter.
The note values include quarter notes and half notes.

Melody: This piece consists of 4, four-measure phrases. Make sure to breathe where it is marked. Play Flopsy the Whimsical Clown's Name the Pitch Games to learn your new notes and respond quickly. Try playing Game 2 and then Game 3.

Have Fun!
