In this piano lesson we will learn to play piano Christmas music. We will use piano tab notation so you don’t need to read piano sheet music.

Jingle Bells is one of the most popular secular Christmas songs in the world. The most played part of the song is the refrain which we will concentrate on in this piano lesson.

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

In this piano lesson you will learn to play Jingle Bells without the use of piano sheet music. After this learn to play piano tutorial you will be able to play the melody with both hands!

Instead of piano sheet music we will use piano tab notation which will tell you where to place your fingers as you play the melody.

The first thing we will do is to locate the note C.

You will find the note C on many places on the piano. It is the white key to the left of two black keys.

Now it’s time to locate the middle C. It is the C right in the middle of the keyboard. On an ordinary upright piano it is near the keyhole.

In our piano lesson we will number the keys. The middle C in our piano tab notation is called 1.

What does 1 mean?

When you see the number 1 you are to press down the middle C once. The white key to the right of C is called 2, the next 3 and so on.

Let’s play some piano tab notes:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Now you have played a C-major scale with the actual notes C D E F G A B.

Let’s proceed in our piano lesson and play the first notes of Jingle Bells!

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells

3 3 3 3 3 3

This is the first part of the refrain. Easy?

I guess that you hear that the third and sixt note has to be a bit longer to create the melody Jingle Bells.

So far we have only used the right hand for playing the melody. How can you use your left hand?

Let’s make this piece a little bit more difficult and also more rewarding to

The exceptionally talented Christmas artist Jim Brinkman has released him CD entitled Peace. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Jim Brinkman fans, and Christmas fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Peace Jim Brinkman’s artistic excellence is on full display as Brinkman has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you’ve got one of Jim Brinkman’s most impressive releases ever.

If you’re even mildly into Christmas music you’ll enjoy this CD. Overall Peace is an outstanding release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 2 – Hark The Herald Angels Sing, track 10 – God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, and track 13 – Peace.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – We Three Kings. Great track!
