Carol of the Bells | pre-reading beginner piano solo

It’s THAT TIME OF YEAR: when every student, large + small, requests to play “Carol of the Bells.” I’m definitely the last teacher to ever recommend the dreaded “note-names-in-the-note-heads,” but sometimes those first-year students just really want a shot at this popular Christmas tune.

So here’s a simple version of “Carol of the Bells,” for beginner piano, note names and all. After all, it’s Christmas – I guess we can be a little lax on note-reading for once.
