From the beloved musical “The Sound of Music,” “Edelweiss” is a tender waltz about the small white flower of the Alps. Its 3/4 time signature and simple chords make it a wonderful beginner piece.

123
Tip: This is in 3/4 waltz time. Count “1-2-3, 1-2-3” and emphasize beat 1. A bass note on beat 1 followed by two gentle strums creates the classic waltz feel.
