Lesson 2 – O Christmas Tree

This lesson uses the same 3 chords as Jingle Bells, plus 2 more:  G7 and Dm.  If you’re brand new at this, go back to lesson 1 and learn Jingle Bells to get the basics.  O Christmas Tree is a perfect second lesson, paying tribute to this Christmas symbol found in many homes.

• Level 1 learn the melody and add simple single note harmony.
• Level 2 use chords to harmonize (in root position and voiced inversions.)
• Level 3 create arranged patterns for the left hand using interesting/ sophisticated harmony.
