Christmas Piano Sheet
Algernon Alcala
Determining what not to play is just as important as learning what to play. In this module, you'll learn how to get to the "meat" of the harmony so you are stripping away all of the bad chords and exposing the harmony that is most important to the arrangement.
This module is great for those students who want to really know how to dig into arranging a song. You'll learn how to fix wrong chord changes. I will highlight some work from other students, and I'll teach you how to put chords to just a melody. This is a really important skill!
In this 3rd session, I'll show you how I dig into Silent Night to create a full arrangement. So many in depth concepts are covered in this session like: moving between major and minor, 2-5-1's, figuring out chords to a melody, adding in tensions to your chords, harmonizing using just 1-4-5's, creating a jazz arrangement for a song and much more!
Everybody loves the sound of piano fills. In this session I'll show you different techniques that I use in my playing to create a more dramatic effect. I'm also going to show you my tricks for moving between different styles like New Orleans blues, Rock, Gospel, New Age and even Disco! I'll give you sheet music examples of each so you'll easily be able to recreate this effect in your own arrangements.

The higher the version number, the more challenging and intricate the arrangement is, so hopefully, there will be at least one version suitable for everyone who is looking for Christmas music for piano. Below the list of carols is an explanation of each of the versions and their level of difficulty.
Version 3: The Simple versions have the melody in the right hand, with a basic accompaniment in the left hand, playing only one note at a time. Key signatures are used for this version and the following versions.
For more information, lead sheets with chords, and versions of each carol in different keys, visit the home page for a table of contents for all of the carols.

Perhaps one of the most lovely Christmas carols, this song features a gentle rocking melody. It is a holiday carol commonly sung the night before Christmas. Silent Night is also deeply connected to peace through the famous Christmas Truce in World War I, when young German and English soldiers laid down their weapons and sang Silent Night together from their separate trenches.

Scroll down for fun group games that teach and review music theory. A great approach is to first have students complete the worksheet individually and then play the companion game to reinforce the concepts and make learning music fun.
How to play: Students sit in a circle with the present, hat, and gloves in the center. Students take turns rolling the dice and then passing the dice to the next person in the circle. As soon as a student rolls doubles, she grabs the worksheet and identifies one key signature to the teacher. When she is correct, she crosses out the keys signature she just identified and then races to put on the hat and gloves and begin unwrapping the gift.
Play continues until a student has unrwapped the gift. The student who unwraps the gift gets to keep the prize! (Or you can wrap a bag of candybars, and let everyone have one and then let the winner take home the rest.) This is a super fun game that your students are sure to love!
How to play: First complete the worksheet to review the names of the piano keys with the students. Then divide children into two teams and have each team line up across the room from the piano. Ask the kids to imagine that they are eskimos, out hunting and crawling across the snow as they try to stay hidden.

How to play: First give each student a copy of this Christmas music worksheet so that they can practice correctly drawing the clefs. Then divide students into pairs and give each pair a printout of the staff in a page protector and a dry erase marker.
If you are playing with older students who can get themselves in order quickly, you can make the game more challenging by blindfolding every student. This can be hilarious, and gives kids great practice with learning how to communicate effectively.
Note: This game works perfectly with 7 students. If you have less than 7 students, only hand out the number of sharps that corresponds with the number of students. E.g. if you have 4 students in your group lesson, then only prepare cards with F, C, G, and D.
If you have a larger group, you can pair students. If you are teaching a lage music class, you can divide your students into groups of 7 and have the groups race to see which team is the fastest.
The Santa student holds up a flashcard for everyone else to see. The other students write their answers on their dry erase boards and hold it up for Santa to see. After everyone has shown their answer, Santa gives student the correct answer and then holds up a new flash card.
Kids practice rhythm by writing the counts beneath each note and rest and drawing the missing bar lines. Encourage students to draw a doulbe bar line at the end of each line. Remind them to pay special attention to the time signatures.
How to play: Ask student to write the counts beneath each note and rest. Then students can use the spaghetti noodles to add bar lines where needed. Teacher checks answers and gives feedback as needed.
How to play: First have students complete the ice skating worksheet to review half steps and whole steps. Then hand out the grand staff printouts and ask one student to volunteer to be the judge for the first round.
How to play: All students play their tokens on the C key at the far left of the gameboard. Students take turns rolling the die. If they roll an odd number they get to move their token one half step. If they roll an even number they move their token a whole step.
How to play: Pair up students and then give each individual a sheet of blank staff paper. Ask them to create 4 measures of rhythms. They can use any combinations of notes and rests, but they must stick with their time signature. This gives kids excellent practice with reasoning out note values and drawing notes and rests.
Next have students trade papers and then write the counts beneath the notes and rests in the paper they received. To finish, students can then clap and count the rhythms they created to hear their rhythm masterpieces!
This is a fun, colorful worksheet for beginning piano students. Students first identify each hand as a right hand or left hand. Then the look at the highlighted finger and write the finger number in the empty box.
Use the first printable to give students excellent practice using their ear to harmonize a melody. All of the empty boxes can be filled using the primary triads. Give students a head start by helping them figure out what key the song is written in and identifying the primary triads for that key.
Next ask your student to play the first measure of the melody with the right hand while the left hand plays one of the primary triads. Have students try that first measure with every one of the primary chords. Ask them which chord they think sounds best in that measure and then have them write their choice in the empty box. Student then repeat this process to figure out the remaining chords.
The second printable can be used if you would like to help a student learn to play from a lead sheet when they may not be ready yet to figure out the chords on their own. You are already familiar with how lead sheets work, so teach your student to look at the chord names above each measure and then play those chords with their left hand while the right hand plays the melody.
