Playing with all your fingers

The next tune is played using all your fingers. Put your hands in the positions you use to practise training your fingers

Play each of these notes, one after the other, to 'warm up' your fingers. Then, play the right-hand part of 'Jingle Bells' on its own, making sure you give each note its correct number of beats. When you can do this, play the left-hand part on its own. Then, put the two hands together - notes which are one above the other are played at the same time.
JINGLE BELLS - A Christmas Song, by James Pierpoint

Try to keep your eyes on the text and play without looking down at the keys. As long as your fingers are in the right places and you use the correct fingers, you will play the right notes.

Take a few moments to think about a tune before you play it. Sing or hum the first notes to yourself, so you get the right feeling for the.tune, and start counting and playing at the proper speed.
