A standard song for graduation ceremonies is ``Uegeba Takashi.''
This time I will introduce the free piano sheet music for this song.
We also have sheet music with do-re-mi for beginners, so please use that as well.
According to Wikipedia, this song was created in 1884 and became popular as a graduation song from the Meiji to Showa periods.
Nowadays, it seems that many schools don't sing, and in fact, I only sang at graduation ceremonies when I was in elementary, junior high, and high school. In recent years, the most sung song at graduation ceremonies is ``Departure Day'', which is perhaps a sign of the times. Furthermore, as times change, new songs will be added and the standard songs will probably change as well.
However, ``Ogeba Takashi'' is still a song that is almost always learned in music class in the first grade, and it can be said to be a masterpiece that very few Japanese people don't know.

We introduce several types, so please try using the sheet music you like.
Free sheet music ① (Introductory Do-Re-Mi in C major)
The first thing I'll introduce is a simple sheet music with my own do-re-mi.
The original song is in the key of E-flat major, but I changed it to C major so that even beginners can play it right away, and I have written the do-re-mi pitch to make it easier to understand.
You can play not only on the piano but also on a recorder, piano app, etc.

Free sheet music ② (E-flat major melody score)
The next sheet music I will introduce is the same melody sheet as ①.
This song was written in E-flat major to match the original song.
Since you will often be playing the black keys, let's get familiar with the melody line first.

Free sheet music ③ (beginner)
The next thing I'd like to introduce is a score for playing with both hands in E-flat major.
The length of the notes is adjusted to make the accompaniment as simple as possible, and it is created using simple chords.
I think this is a very good practice piece for both hands, as well as for understanding transposition.

Free sheet music ④ (beginner to intermediate)
The final piece is a slightly more difficult sheet music arranged for piano.
This song has a slow tempo, so if you practice while checking each note one by one, you'll be able to play it in no time.
I think this is a very good practice piece for both hands, as well as for understanding transposition.

I used the ④ Beginner to Intermediate score of ``Uegeba Respect''.
Thank you very much.
I'm just a complete amateur, but I use free DTM software called Musescore to arrange the music, make it into a video, and upload it to YouTube.
This time, as the 68th song, we have picked up the seasonal pattern "Ugeba Takashi".
I'm embarrassed to say that I don't even know how to play the piano, so for the piano parts, I always use At Elise, Yamaha print sheet music, or public domain sheet music from IMSLP. This time, I was grateful to be able to use the sheet music from your site that I happened to come across while searching. Due to the characteristics of music processed by a computer called DTM, various special measures such as rests, reverberation sound effects, and FO are required, so please understand that some notes may differ from the original score.
