Learn slowly with 1-2-3-4-5-6 counting - learn as written for ease of reading hands separately. Once learned you can move the left hand down an octave.
6/8 time - eighth notes get 1 count, quarter notes = 2 counts, dotted quarter notes = 3 counts.
This is in the Key of D minor which has 1 flat - B flat.

Work until the check mark - once you have mastered the chords, put together slowly. Remember to hold the dotted quarter notes a little longer than a quarter note since we are playing this by ear rather than counting.
