Christmas Piano Songs

Carols to sing around the tree, and the Christmas classics of the concert hall: Jingle Bells and Silent Night, Deck the Halls and We Three Kings, but also O Holy Night, the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Hallelujah Chorus. Each one is written for the piano in an easy version, with the tune in the right hand and a calm left hand underneath. The arrangements are ours; several tunes were read from hymnals, songbooks and scores printed between the 1860s and the 1920s.

If you only have a few days before the holidays, pick one song, learn the right hand first in Practice mode, then add the left hand one phrase at a time with the A-B loop. The carols start at level 1 and 2; the pieces from The Nutcracker and Messiah sit at level 3. Auld Lang Syne is here too, for the last minutes of the year.
