During the Christmas season, most people love to enjoy the Christmas music and surely many people also want to be able to create those familiar melodies on the piano themselves. Even if you are not a professional pianist, you can still surprise your family and friends by playing Jingle Bells, which is a fairly simple song. After reading this article, we believe you can easily remember how to play and perform wherever a piano or organ is available.

Steps

1. 

   Put your right hand in front. For this Jingle Bells, just use your right hand. If you are a beginner, the first thing you need to do is understand the order of your fingers.
   • Your thumb is the number "1".

     

     
     
   • Your index finger is the number "2".

     

   • Your middle finger is the number "3".

     

     
     
   • Your pinkie is the number "4".

     

   • Your pinkie is the number "5".

     

     
     
   • You can also mark the number on your hand if it is difficult to remember, but it is not at all. If you have a note name, you don't even need to remember the number of your fingers.

2. 

   Find where your hands should be on the piano. For Jingle Bells, your hand position will be in the middle of the C's note (just use your right hand). To find C trung, first look at your piano or organ (or look at the illustrations if you don't have a piano at home). You will see that the black keys are divided into 2 groups: a group of 2 black keys and a group of 3 black keys.

3. 

   Find the group of 2 black keys closest to the middle of the piano or organ.

4. 

   Place your right thumb on the white key just to the left of the group of two black keys. That is the note Do Trung is looking for.

5. 

   Place your remaining fingers on the white keys one by one, in order from left to right for C's note. Your right hand should be spread evenly over 5 white keys starting from the C note to the other 4 notes to the right. This is called the middle interval.
6. Start playing.
   • The following are detailed instructions on how to type Jingle Bells music based on the number of fingers: 3 3 3 - 3 3 3 - 3 5 1 2 3 - - - 4 4 4 3 3 3 2 2 3 2 - 5 - 3 3 3 -3 3 3 - 3 5 1 2 3 - - - 4 4 4 3 3 3 5 5 4 2 1 - - -You just need to type the keys according to the correct number of fingers. When you see a dash, hold the current note a little longer than usual. Each dash corresponds to 1 beat. Example: If you see 3 3 3 - then it means that on the 3rd time you tap the middle finger, you will hold the key for 1 more beat.

     

   • If you know the name of the middle notes (Do, Re, Mi, Fa & Son), here's how you play Jingle Bells through the name of the note: Mi Mi Mi - Mi Mi Mi - Mi Son Do Re Mi - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mi Mi Mi Mi Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi -i and---- - - - - - - - - - - - - --

Advice

• If you find the chord above is too difficult, you just need to play the 1 and 5 fingers (C note & Son note).
• Be persistent in practicing.
• If you have mastered the right hand, you can play more chords with your left hand, the music will sound much better. Place your left hand in the same position as your right hand but this time on the C note of the low octave. This is the octave located just to the left of the midrange on a piano or organ. The chord pressing position is correct when the space between your left and right hand is 3 keys. To play a chord, press the keys of the 1, 3, 5 (C, Mi, Son) fingers at the same time. Hold the chord for 4 beats and then continue playing the chord mentioned above. Play the left hand chord while playing the right hand note.
