C C G G A A G · F F E E D D C · G G F F E E D · G G F F E E DWhy this piece works for practice
Same tune family as Twinkle, but shifted down so the whole melody sits inside one hand position near middle C. That makes Baa Baa Black Sheep a better warm-up than its more famous cousin for anyone learning to read from a score, because nothing in the tune makes you move your hand at all.
How to practise it
- Play t t o o p p o and check that the last note is a step lower than the one before it.
- Repeat the third phrase twice — the melody reuses it, so you get two phrases for the price of one.
- Practise the whole tune with one hand only, then try the same tune starting on a different C.
