​"Edelweiss" is a beautiful and gentle song from the musical The Sound of Music, composed by Rodgers and Hammerstein. It’s a relatively simple song to play on piano, making it a good choice for beginners or those looking for a peaceful piece. Here’s how you can play it on the piano:
Step 1: Familiarize with the Key and ChordsThe song is usually in the key of C Major, which means it primarily uses the white keys (C, D, E, F, G, A, B). There are a few simple chords you'll need to know:

• C major (C): C, E, G
• F major (F): F, A, C
• G major (G): G, B, D
• A minor (Am): A, C, E

Step 2: Melody (Right Hand)Here are the main melody notes for "Edelweiss" in the key of C Major. You can start by playing the melody with your right hand.
First line: "Edelweiss, Edelweiss"

• E, E, G, G, A, G, E (Edelweiss, Edelweiss)

Second line: "Every morning you greet me"

• E, E, G, G, A, G, E, F, E (Every morning you greet me)

Third line: "Small and white, clean and bright"

• C, C, E, G, E, G, F, E (Small and white, clean and bright)

Fourth line: "You look happy to meet me"

• E, E, G, G, A, G, E (You look happy to meet me)

Step 3: Left Hand (Chords)Now, while your right hand plays the melody, you’ll play the chords with your left hand. Here’s how the basic chord progression goes:

1. C major (C) – Play this for the first line ("Edelweiss, Edelweiss")
2. F major (F) – Play this for the second line ("Every morning you greet me")
3. C major (C) – Play this for the third line ("Small and white, clean and bright")
4. G major (G) – Play this for the fourth line ("You look happy to meet me")

Step 4: Putting It TogetherNow, practice playing both hands together. The melody will be in your right hand, and the chords will be played in your left hand. Start slowly, and gradually increase the speed as you become more comfortable.
Step 5: Add More Complex Chord Progressions (Optional)Once you're familiar with the basic chords and melody, you can add more sophisticated chord progressions and embellishments in your left hand to enhance the song.
Example of the Full Melody and Chords (simplified):

1. C: E, E, G, G, A, G, E
2. F: E, E, G, G, A, G, E
3. C: C, C, E, G, E, G, F, E
4. G: E, E, G, G, A, G, E
   (Continue with similar chord and melody patterns for the rest of the song.)
