Eric Coates
Level: Beginner (easy)
In this piano tutorial, you'll learn to play "By the Sleepy Lagoon," a piece by Eric Coates that can be heard at Efteling during the fairytale of The Magic Clock.
The fairytale of The Magic Clock is located in the Efteling fairytale forest. It was one of the first 10 fairytales with which Efteling opened in 1952. It's located in Herautenplein, the heart of Efteling. The song was also used in Aquanura, the fountain show.
Tips for playing piano
✔ Practice step by step: Repeat the Slow section as many times as needed until you feel comfortable, then move on to the next chapter.
✔ Hands separately first: Start by practicing the right hand (melody), then the left hand, and finally both together.
✔ Play with a partner: One person can play the melody while the other plays the accompaniment—great for learning together!
✔ Practice daily: Even just 15 minutes a day will help you improve steadily.
✔ Take your time: enjoy the process, and have fun playing!
