β First, Have a Listen
Listen to Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star all the way through.
Can you hear the chords changing underneath the melody?
No playing yet — just listen and enjoy the music!
If you’d like extra help following the tune itself, you can also listen to the melody on its own, played slowly and clearly.
(Audio: Twinkle, Twinkle – melody only)
