About this game
In left-hand C position the pinky starts on Bass C and each finger rests on the next white key up to G. This free game shows those five notes in the bass clef and you name them before time runs out, building the left-hand reading most beginners find harder.

Tips for beginners
Bass C sits in the second space of the bass staff. From there, D is on the middle line, E in the third space, F on the fourth line (between the clef's dots) and G in the top space.
For teachers and parents
A beginner game to pair with the right-hand C position game. Left hand C position uses finger 5 on C up to finger 1 on G, so it's a good chance to review finger numbers too.
