Level 1: Right hand, C to G 1–1
The right hand alone in C position, thumb on middle C and one finger on each white key up to G. Every tune is in C major and stays on those five notes. One line of music on the treble staff, with a finger number and a letter name on every note.
Level 3: Notes below middle C 2–5
The tune goes down below middle C to B, A and G, so the right hand reaches or shifts down and comes back to C position. Still C major, still the same three chords in the left hand.
Level 4: Up to the C above 6–10
The tune climbs past G to A, B and the C above middle C, so the right hand moves up and back. All white keys, all in C major (or A minor).
Level 5: A wider range 11–15
Still only white keys, but the tune covers more than an octave, so the hand moves further and more often.
Level 6: Moving on 16–24
Sharps and flats appear in the tune, the pieces run longer, and the left hand becomes a real second part. Still written in C major or A minor.
