How to play Bingo on the piano

A traditional English and American children's song from the 18th century about a farmer's dog. In the next verses, one letter of B-I-N-G-O at a time is replaced by a clap.

This easy version uses 7 keys (all white keys) and the right hand only: 37 notes, about 26 seconds at 120 BPM in 4/4 time. The words are in English.

Find key 1: G4 (above middle C). The other numbers go up from there, one white key each.

Press ▶ Listen to hear the song while the numbers light up.

Press 🎹 Play it and play the numbers in order; an arrow shows the next key, and the lesson waits for you.

Want the rhythm too? Press 🌧 Falling notes: each note falls onto its key, and its length shows how long to hold it (how falling notes work).

Finish the song for up to three stars — fewer mistakes, more stars.
