repeat sign

Play again marking

A repeat sign is a symbol in musical notation that tells the performer to play a passage again.

The sign consists of a double bar line with two dots—when you reach the sign facing left, you return to the matching sign facing right and play the section between them once more.

Go back to the repeat sign and play the chorus again.
