Kayla asked if I knew any songs which could be played just on black keys. Here is the list I compiled. See if you can figure them out.

Hot Crossed Buns (Start on Bb)
Rain, Rain, Go Away (Start on C#)
Mary Had a Little Lamb (Start on Bb)
Peter, Peter Pupkin Eater (Start on Bb)
The Chimes (As played by London's Big Ben) (Start on Bb)
Ring around the Rosy (Start on C#)
Any Bugle calls: Taps (Start on C#), Charge, Reveille etc
The Farmer in the Dell (Start on C#)
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot (Start on Bb)
Jolly Old St. Nicholas (Start on Bb)
First part of Up on the Roof Top (Start on C#)
First part of Oh Susannah (start on F#)
Old MacDonald (Start on F#)
Amazing Grace (Start on C#)

You can do BLUES improvisations on black keys by emphasizing Eb instead of F# and by adding an A natural.
