Free Christmas Songs

Deck the Halls in Four Arrangements

Free Christmas songs (four versions) Deck the Halls -- give your students this well-known, beloved Christmas carol! Now as a lead sheet, and also two versions with left hand chords for early intermediate piano stutdents, as well as the original easy version in Middle C position. The complete Christmas song lyrics are included also, at the bottom of this page.



Here is an adorable rendition of Deck the Halls by a madrigal group from Mars Hill Academy, all decked out themselves in medieval garb.

As I have done with many beginner songs, I have doubled the note values so there are no tricky eighth notes for beginner piano students in two of the arrangements. Beginners will start off playing it slowly, but the counting won't be a problem, and they will pick up speed.

Below is a lively arrangement which makes use of left hand chords and chord inversions. If your students have spent any time doing chords and inversions, this arrangement may just fall into their hands very easily:

This arrangement really is fun to play, and pretty easy (if you have an understanding of chords). It DEFINITELY sounds better with both hands played up an octave; I tell my students it also sounds more "Christmas-y", like bells.

Below is a lead sheet, for piano or other instruments:

THIS SITE IS AMAZING!!... Thank you so much for your hard work getting these on the web, you have mademany children very happy!!



Joy:
Thank you. Just wanted to say I found your website bymistake but what a blessing it has been. I am a missionary wife living in Spain (for many, many years) and I teach piano to Spanish children and adults. I have the barrier of very few usable things in Spanish, and can so identify with the need to write things suitable for the student...

Marta:
Thank you for the free downloads! I'm a private teacher and I teach piano and beginner voice as well. :) I've been running my studio for about a year and I've come across the same issue; I don't want my students to have to purchase an entire supplemental book for only a couple of songs. So thank you for this site...some great downloads!!
