What is the name of the tune with this piano chord sequence?

Q. There's a really simple song with the chord sequence C A F G with what I think is 3 or 4 blocks of repeating melody, the sort of thing everyone knows a bit of, and I was worrying if anyone knows the name.

Really sorry it's a bit vague, but it's all I have to go on to describe it to you, since I always play the chords, and I don't know which notes the melody is on. Thanks in advance.

A. You're probably looking for Loesser & Carmichael's 1938 song ''Heart and Soul'' which ''is often simplified as a repeating I-vi-IV-V progression and taught to beginning piano students as an easy two-hand duet'' (Wiki):

Best,

Original Question

So How do I know what note to play when going from a piano chord to another?
Q. I heard my music teacher Playing bohemian rhapsody today (by ear) and I know the chords but how did he know what to put in between them?

A. He used his sense of relative pitch to figure out the notes.

Knowledge of music theory also helps you to predict what may come next.

How hard is it for children age 5-8 to play classical piano?
Q. Ive been checking out some YouTube videos of small children playing the piano, and some people call it child abuse. I disagree. If you have experience with this, can you tell me about how long it takes for them to learn the song well and how difficult is it?

A. I think it's only child abuse when parents slap a "prodigy" label on a little kid the minute the child picks out a simple tune on the piano. Most of these kids are even particularly good when compared to other children, but a lot of unearned and over-lavish praise is heaped on them. When they lose their cuteness--and their playing ability doesn't noticeably improve--then what?

Most children really love music, so giving them piano lessons to help nurture that love of music isn't a bad thing.

That's different from THIS:

I especially love the PBS special. There are times he is just playing some basic chords while an orchestra, singers, and other musicians are backing him up.

This is his Wikipedia article that lists his credits--and he's just 11.

He's still going strong and has many fans among people you would think would know better. The Emperor is naked, but no one wants to say.

Many famous composers and musicians did start playing and even composing music at a very early age. Of course, there are stories that Beethoven's father used to beat him regularly, but this may just be folklore--I've found sources that both confirm this story or shoot it down as false. However, it is true that Ludwig's Dad was extremely harsh with the young boy if he made mistakes and forced him to practice many hours, often into the night. On the other hand, Beethoven--as an adult--was recognized as a true piano virtuoso.

For the average kid, I think playing the piano is fine. It might be easier for a 7 or 8 year old to play than a 5 year simply based on the typical attention span at those ages, as well as physical dexterity, but I myself gave my 2 year old a small keyboard of her own to play with when she showed interest in her grandparent's piano. (Notice I said "play with"--but even a very young child can teach herself or be shown how to play simple tunes---it doesn't make them a musical genius)
