About the tune
James Lord Pierpont published this song in 1857 under the title “One Horse Open Sleigh”. It is one of the best-known winter songs in the world, although it was not originally a Christmas song. The chorus repeats three short notes on “jingle bells”, which gives it a bouncy feel that is fun to play.
How it is arranged here
The arrangement is simplified for learning and is written in 4/4 time at about 120 beats per minute. It has about 16 bars and 54 steps in Any-key mode, where one press plays the whole step. The right hand has 51 notes and the left hand has 64. The lowest note is F2 and the highest is G4.
How to learn it
- Open the song and choose Watch to see and hear it once.
- Switch to Follow. The song waits for you to press each lit key, so there is no timing pressure.
- When Follow feels easy, try Play along and aim for 90% or better. The speed dial lets you start slow, and the coach loops any bars that gave you trouble.
Practice tips
- The “jingle bells, jingle bells” opening is the same note repeated. Keep your hand relaxed and press evenly.
- The chorus leaps up and then settles back. Practise the leap on its own before you play the whole line.
