When you choose a song you know well, can hear it in your head whether or not you played it before on a piano or keyboard, the results could be spectacular and energize you like magic. Following the basic rules of "read the sheet music first and then play", what you hear in this video is what I played and recorded within about one hour. The sheet music in a songbook titled Christmas Songs by Hal Leonard got me started leading to memorization, a very good sign for musicians. Consider this method. Read the sheet music, play the melody and then choose chords you can identify quickly and begin to play. Success will be yours, maybe in one hour, one da or longer. This should not be a competition unless you dream of playing in Carnegie Hall. Finally, especially for beginners, daily practice improves sight reading, technique, self-confidence and musical memory. Keep up the good work, music students. Happy holidays and many thanks for watching.
