Free Online Christmas Music
Free online Christmas music for piano and singing students, Christ Was Born On Christmas Day. This late elementary piece makes use of left hand chords in basic root and inverted positions, to make comprehension and playing easy... and it's still pretty! |
Here is the Robert Shaw Chorale in "Songs of Angels"
singing "Christ Was Born On Christmas Day" and a medley of other songs:This song is very easy on the piano hands separate; coordinating the two hands on page 2 is a little harder. I suggest reviewing the G cadence chords -- check out my Key of G scales and chords page if you are unfamiliar with what I mean.
You and your student will have to figure out what kind of fingering they will use in the right hand; I think there are probably only two possibilities: 5-3-1-2-4-5-4, or 4-2-1-2-4-5-4.
Neither fingering will feel natural to an elementary-level student, but this is the only tricky spot in the right hand. If they are familiar with chord shapes, then this should not be too big of an obstacle.

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!!
Yolanda:
I used to teach piano lessons, and then did not for anumber of years. Now, suddenly, I have 3 beginning students and I am thrilled. I was looking for printable scales and found your wonderful website. Thankyou so much. I know this will be a big help to me and my students.
