What I learned today

Today in Keyboard Orchestra class I learned about musical symbols and identifying keys on a keyboard. I learned the symbols that represent a rest, and about the Whole, Half, Quarter, Eighth, and Sixteenth notes, and the pattern they carry. I also realized how crazy it is, that over 5,200 songs use the same Four Chords and still manage to be successful. I was challenged today when I had to identify certain keys to play a song. As I progressed playing songs became easier, until I had to use both hands, then I had a hard time.
