  It takes practice to figure out whether a song will be higher, higher, or highest in pitch. For beginners, the methods we are learning now are the best way to learn how songs are made. 1. You need to listen to the song at least three times for it to have an impact! 2. Please try to sing or whistle the melody while the song is playing. 3. After learning how to sing the melody, one can try playing it on piano using trial and error. 4. When we reach this point, we will know how music is organized. You can then use that knowledge to create a basic chord progression for your song. Building on the previous skills, you'll see that it's really not difficult to play at church. 5. After learning a bunch of songs sequentially, our ears will start to develop in a way that lets us identify the pitches of a note or chord.
