Who else is interested in learning how to play Jingle Bells <\/em>and twelve other Christmas melodies?<\/p>\n

This is the second week of the Christmas on the Piano series and I want to thank you for your commitment and for being a part of this program. If you’re just joining us, feel free to check out the Introductory Lesson<\/a> and The Notes, Key, And Scale You’ll Be Needing This Christmas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I know that chances are there that you have a piano app or software in your device. So, I came up with this lesson on Jingle Bells; <\/em>where we’ll be learning how the melody can be played in the key of C major:
\n
\nAttention:<\/strong> There are twelve days of Christmas and apart from the Jingle Bells <\/em>melody we’ll be learning in this lesson, we’ll also be learning twelve Christmas melodies; so you don’t run out of Christmas melodies from the first day of Christmas to the twelfth day.<\/p>\n

This is going to be a practical lesson. Move to the piano or make sure you have one downloaded and installed in your device because we’re going to learn more than a handful of Christmas melodies.<\/p>\n

How To Play Jingle Bells<\/em> On The Piano<\/h2>\n

The Jingle Bells <\/em>melody is not just unique but interesting and I know you’re wondering what the Jingle Bells <\/em>melody has that distinguishes it from every other Christmas melody.<\/p>\n

Well, before I proceed, let me say this: every Christmas melody is unique and interesting.<\/p>\n

“Now Back To The ‘Jingle Bells’ Melody…”<\/em><\/p>\n

I call the Jingle Bells<\/em> melody is\u00a0 a five-finger melody and this is because you can just keep the hand in one position and play the entire melody with the five fingers and five notes.<\/p>\n

In the key of C major:
\n
\n…you can play the melody using the first five notes in the key: C, D, E, F,and G:
\n
\n…and here’s the fingering information:<\/p>\n

The thumb on C:
\n
\nThe index finger on D:
\n
\nThe middle finger on E:
\n
\nThe ring finger on F:
\n
\nThe pinky finger on G:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The good thing about this simple melody is that you never have to change or move your hand position or worry about notes that are outside the first five tones of the C major scale.<\/p>\n

\nNow that you’ve seen the melody, I recommend that you repeat it a couple of times before you proceed to the other melodies that we have to learn.<\/p>\n

“Here Are Twelve Other Christmas Melodies…”<\/em><\/h2>\n

You’ll find a dozen melodies in this segment and I guarantee that you’ll never run out of melodies in this season if you practice and master these melodies.<\/p>\n

All of them are given in the key of C major:
\n
\n…which is the official key of the Christmas on the Piano<\/em> series.<\/p>\n

Attention: You’ll come across notes that are not in the key of C major. Notes like C#, F#, and G#<\/p>\n

Get ready to learn Deck The Halls, Silent Night, Away In A Manger, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, <\/em>and several other melodies.<\/p>\n

Let’s get started<\/p>\n
