With an appropriate title, here's our final festive tune for this advent calendar - with sheet music, notes, and a play-by-ear version - enjoy!
Here's Rudolph! This tune has been very popular again this year :)
This tune has become more popular again this year - nice and easy to read and play!
Here's a traditional song - how many verses do you know apart from five gold rings?!
As requested by a couple of students - here's a song made famous by the late Shane MacGowan and the Pogues!
Here's one you may be less familiar with - about ships sailing in on Christmas!!
Another festive pop song, this time from Wizzard - in two keys - can you tell what they are?
A popular Christmas Carol - with 2 versions: one a bit easier!
This Elton John song has been particularly in recent years. It's fairly easy to play the intro riff - then try the other parts too.
As well as reading sheet music, it's handy to be able to play tunes by ear. In this video from 2015, I explain how to play a few Christmas Carols by ear!
Many people have enjoyed the easy version of Jingle Bells - here's another version, including "Dashing Through the Snow" :)
Today we have two tunes for the price of one! Two students requested different versions of the same Christmas Carol "In the bleak midwinter" - so I had a go arranging them:
Our 3rd theme in a minor key - featured in the Harry Potter movies . . . Hedwig's Theme.
Sticking with minor key themes - this has become very popular with students - mysterious!
Taking a break from festive tunes, here's a piece by Grieg - also known as the theme tune for Alton Towers!
New for this year - requested by a student (if you have any requests let me know!)
A festive pop song today from Wham! - including the lyrics and the keyboard solo too.
This has been particularly popular recently - in the last few weeks over 12k people have downloaded the sheet music!!
Who knows if it will be a white Christmas this year?! Anyway, here's "Let it snow" - enjoy :)
Today: two arrangements of this requested tune . . . there's an easy version and a more difficult one!
Another Christmas tune today: "We Wish You a Merry Christmas!"
A popular Christmas Carol today - play each hand, then join both together...
Today it's all about KINGS! Two very easy pieces - practise your reading . . .
Second to feature is "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" - proving very popular again this year with students!
Our advent calendar begins with the popular Christmas Carol: "It was on a starry night". There's piano notes, plus a lesson too.
