Yankee Doodle (Early Elementary Version)

Sheet music for our free, early elementary version of Yankee Doodle.

In the late 18th Century it changed from a British parody of American soldiers to a patriotic tune in defiance of the British. Presented here is an easy version of the melody, including a keyboard hand-placement graphic for fast learning. Arranged by Joseph Hoffman, 1 PDF page.
