1. Updated Christmas course intro : I Merry Christmas, everyone. My name is Eric, and I'm
the tutor for this course. I've been teaching
for over 20 years, teaching from the ages
of five to 40 plus, and I have worked in
various schools as well. In this course,
you're going to learn some fun Christmas
songs that you can share with your
family and friends. I'm going to teach you how to play the melody of the songs, the choruse of the songs,
and also the bass. We're also going to
learn about how to put these songs together in
both hands as well at a pace that will be
suitable for beginners or even those who are a
little bit more experienced. Before starting this course, it is important that
you have a keyboard or even if you have a
keyboard on your iPad, but preferably, it
would best have a physical keyboard in front of you when learning
these songs. This course will be valuable
for you if you're a beginner and want to add more songs to
your repertoire of playing. Also, learning left hand and right hand coordination
to play songs as well. At the end of this course, what I would love
is if you could record yourself actually playing one or two of these songs, you can show me this on
YouTube as unlisted. Or on another site
if you want to. But I would love to see
how you've progressed in this course and show me
how you've played the songs. You could even show me a clip of you playing the
songs in front of your family or
friends on Christmas Day or just by yourself. However you would like to
do, this is up to you, and it'll be an encouragement
to the community, as well. So once again, I want to
say Merry Christmas to you, and I look forward to
seeing you on this course, also seeing your performances as well. So I'll
see you all soon.

four parts together, and then I'll show
you the next part with the base note
in the left hand.
12. Demo - Last Christmas (Bass + Melody): [No Speech]
13. Last Christmas (Bass + Melody) : We are now going to add the left hand bass with the melody. So in your left hand,
way doing this, we're going from C.
Then we're going to A. Then we're going to
D. Then we're going to G. It will sound like
this with the melody. That's it. So I'm now going to break it down for you,
nice and slow, okay? So for the first part, we put our little finger on that
C note in the left hand, and it goes like this.
Let's do that first. So we press down the
C note whilst playing the part I just showed you
just now, so like this. Stop there. Alright,
stop in that A. Alright, one more time. So Okay. Then once
you got that part, the next part is So Okay. Alright, so work on the first and the second part
I showed you just now, and it just s like this. So Okay, so work on those two parts. And then the third
part is Okay, again. Oh, stop in the sea.

three parts together. New part. And the last part is. And that's the whole
sequence, okay? So I'm gonna pay
it for you again. Nice and slow. Alright,
so listen one more time. Okay. So, what you can
do in your left hand is that you can play bouncing
on the notes, like this. All you're doing is playing
every note eight times. So one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight, and so on, okay? So work on your left hand, just doing that on
your left hand, and then add the
right hand part. So sound like this for
the right hand part. Okay. But if it's too
hard for you, just do the simple way I showed
you at the very beginning. But don't join until you
can play the melody in the right hand and the bass in the left hand.
I'll see you soon.
14. Demo - Last Christmas (Bass + Chord): [No Speech]
15. Last Christmas (Bass + Chords) : So we are now looking at
playing the chords in the right hand and the
bass in the left hand. So if you're a
singer or if you're playing with a singer,
this will help as well. So in your left hand, you play the base part and
in your right hand, you play the chords. So we're going to play the
same chords you played in the left hand in
the right hand now. So the chords will be
CEG for C major chord. Then it will be E EAC
for the A minor chord, then DFA for the D minor chord. And then GBD for
the G major chord. Just like that. All right. So with the left hand,
it will sound like this, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, to
the A minor chord. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, to the D minor chord. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, then go to the G major
chord, GBD, one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight. Okay? So once you can
play that very well, then I would like you to add
the bounce in the left hand. So once you can
play it that way, I would like you to now add
the bounce in the left hand, like how we done it in
the previous lesson with the bass and the melody. So it will go like
this. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, then. I'm not gonna sing
it, but I'll just say the words because I
have a terrible voice, and I don't want to
ruin your experience of learning this song.
So it goes like this. So last Christmas, I
gave you my heart. On the very first day, you gave it away. Then obviously,
carries on the words. So just take your time in learning each part of this song. So first do the melody by
itself, master that first, then master the
melody with the bass, and then master the
melody with the chords, and then finally master
the bass with the chords. Okay? All the best and well done in completing
all the songs, and I will see you soon.
16. Intro - Feliz Navidad : Okay, guys, now I'm
going to show you a song called Felise Navidad, which is another
popular Christmas song. So check it out next.
17. Demo - Feliz Navidad (Melody): [No Speech]
18. Feliz Navidad (Melody): So we're now going to
look at Felice and epidad in the right
hand, just a melody. So I'm first gonna
demonstrate it to you, and then I'll break
it down to you in sections. So it goes like this. So I'll first go over
the verse section, then the chorus, and then we'll put them both
together afterwards. So for the verse section, I'm going to break
it down in parts. So the first part
goes like this. So GC, B, C, A. All right. And with the G, you kind of bounce on the note. So GC, B, C, A, like that. So practice that first part. The next part goes at
this bouncing at G. D CAG. So GD, CAG. Okay, work on that part. So we put those two parts together.
I will sound like this. Two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three,
four, five, six. So as you can see, I'm holding down the
note for 6 seconds, okay? I'll do it one more time. One, two, three,
four, five, six. One, two, three,
four, five, six. Then the first section, we repeat the first section again. So Yeah. Then the fourth section is F F, A, G, G, G F, F E. Okay. So the new part is more
the fourth section, which is F, A, G, G, G F, F E. Okay, so working out. So now let's try and put the
whole thing together. So only try and put
it all together once you know each
section really well. So let's put it all together
now, so it goes like this. So, work on this
before you go to the next part, which
is the chorus, okay? So the chorus now
goes like this. So you want to stop your
little finger on the E. So it goes E E, E, E, D, C, C, A, A A. So E three times, one, two, three, or four
times, one, two, three, four, then D C twice. A three times. Let's
do that one more time. That's the first part of
it. Then the second part is So the same thing, but
just different notes. So D, D, D, D, C, A a GG, G. Okay. Let's put those
two parts together. To the next part. Then we
repeat the first part again. The new part is this, C, C, B, B, C, D, C. So it goes, C, C, B, B, C, D, C. That's the whole chorus. Okay? Let's put the whole
course together now. That And there you have it. So make sure before you
put it all together, you have learned the verse very well and also the
chorus very well. So put it all together now. So the whole thing
will sound like this. Two, three, four chorus. So next, I will show
you how we play the left hand bass note with the melody in the right hand.
19. Demo - Feliz Navidad (Bass + Melody): [No Speech]
20. Feliz Navidad (Bass + Melody): So hopefully you can now play your right
hand melody part. So to add the left hand,
we play the F note. So the notes that we play
in our left hand are F, hold it for 4 seconds
to G 4 seconds. C, then A. So hold each note for 4 seconds. That's what we're doing
for the verse and chorus. I'm going to show you
how the base works with the verse and chorus.
So we'll go like this. H Tong to playing nice and slow so you can see
how it all works together, so it goes like this.
So A and F together. Then Gina left hand. Then G and C together. Go to the F and left hand. A and F again. Then G&G. Then E and C. So the corso go like this. Then CNF. And the G and D.
Then ANC. Then A. And CNG CN B, sorry.
21. Demo - Feliz Navidad (Chords + Melody): [No Speech]
22. Feliz Navidad (Chord + Melody): So I hope you're able to play
the bass with the melody. So now I'm going to show you
the chords with the melody. So the chords in
the left hand are exactly the same in
the verse and chorus, so there's no changes at all. So I'll demonstrate
this to you first. The calls that I am playing
are F major, which is FAC. Next cord is G major, which is GBD, then C
major, which is CEG. And then A minor, but in
a different inversion. So it was E A, C. All right. So
it'll be like this. We got to hold each
call for four counts. One, two, three, four, So just know that
every chord is held down for four counts while playing the melody
in the right hand. So I'm gonna play
it for you again. You can join in if you want to, or you can watch me so you get an idea of how it
all works together. So If this is too fast for you, play at your own pace,
and you should be fine. Next up, I'll show you
how to play the chord in the right hand and the bass
note in the left hand. And this way of
playing helps you when you want to
accompany a singer, okay? I'll show this next up.
23. Demo - Feliz Navidad (Bass + Chord): [No Speech]
24. Feliz Navidad (Bass + Chord): Alright, so I'm now going
to show you how you play the bass note
with the chords. So you would use this if
you have a singer or if you're singing the song
yourself. So it goes like this. It's the same chord progressions
over and over again. So to play this, all you got to do is play the F major chord in the right hand whilst playing the F in the base like this. That's FAC in the right hand. Then we play the G major chord in the right hand, which is GBD. Then we go to the C major
chord, which is CEG. Then we go to the A minor chord, which is ACE. And that's it. So, work on that. So
let's do that again. So hold every chord
for 4 seconds. So one, two, three, four, then G, two, three, four, then C, two, three, four, then a, two, three, four. Okay? So just work on that. Work on playing at
a slow pace first, and then gradually speed up. And if you want to
accompany yourself, try and sing and play
at the same time. Or if you've got a singer, then try and play along with
the singer whilst playing the chords with the bass in the left hand and the
chords in the right hand. Well done in
completing this song. I hope you have fun with
this, and I'll see you soon.

part. So G will be by itself in the right
hand, and then we start. So we wish you a Mary. Chris, M like that. So C to F in the left hand,
so I'll do it one more time. So wish you a Mary, Chris, Mus. Okay, so work on that part first. That's the first section. Then once you've got
that, next part is, we then goes D and D together. So D in the left hand
in the right hand, so we wish you a Mary. Then go to G your left hand
and B in your right hand, Chris, Mus then B again. We then in your left hand. Go to the E in the right hand. Wish U A Chris C to
A in the right hand, then and so A and D P, G and B, so G in the left
hand and B in the right hand, then C and C together. Yeah. So take your time
with this one, work on it. I'll play a game for
you so you can see how it sounds in real time, okay? I'll play it for
you nice and slow. Okay, so that's just sound. So working it, take your
time with that section. Then once you can
do that section, then drive you for the
next part, which I'm going to show you right
now. So it goes like this. So G by itself again. Then C and C together. So C, left hand, seeing
your right hand, so good, tie, then, then G
in the left hand, B in the right
hand, bring, four, then go to the A in the left
hand and senior right hand. Then G and G together. Then back to E Wish. So left hand in the right hand. So Wish, A M e. Then Gen, the left hand and Gina
right hand, Hi Jen Log. So Chris, M and Dance before. So, then then end with the C. Yeah, like that. Okay? And that's basically it. So I'm now going to play
the whole song with the left hand bass and
the right hand melody. So it goes like this. Oh Alright, work on that and then draw
me next with the cords.
28. I wish you a Merry Christmas (Bass + Chords): So so I'm now going to show
you how we play the chord on the right hand and bass in
the left hand to accompany a singer or even accompany yourself if you're going
to sing the song yourself. So it goes like
this. So C major. So we wish you a Mary then go to the F major chord,
which we already know, which is FAC with the bass F. Then we play D major
chord in the right hand, which is DF sharp A with the D bass note
in the left hand. A Mary, then go to
the G major chord, Chris Ms then go to
the E major chord. We wish you a Mary and
go to A minor chord, Chris Mus and a D minor chord, P, then G major chord, Nu and C major chord. Yeah. So it's the exact
same thing was done before, but it was transferring
it all to the right hand. So I'm gonna play it again up to speed, so it goes like this. And the next part
is so good tis, we bring four then go to the A minor chord
with the A base to you and your king h.
Then we wish you a Mary, then go to the G
chord, Chris Muss, and a D minor chord. P and G. Yeah. So all the chords
that I'm playing right now, we've already done. But what I'm doing now is adding the base
note for the chord. So if it's the F chord, we
pay F. If it's the C chord, we pay the C note in the bass, if it's the G chord, we
pay the G, et cetera. So I hope that makes sense.
Just take your time to work on the changes in the right
hand and the left hand, but play super slow, as I always say, okay? And you'll be fine
with this one. So I'll play for you one more
time, so it's just clear. So I'm gonna do it
again with a chords, and I will try to sing. I mean, try to sing as I
play the choruse and yeah, as you hear the
words, so it goes, I wish you a sorry, we wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a Merry
Christmas, and P, now. Yeah, then goes good tidings we bring for you and your king. We wish you a Merry
Christmas and ha pu. Sorry for the singing,
but I hope it all makes sense to you while
trying to show you, okay? And, yeah, all the
best for this one. See you soon.

35. Demo - Silent Night (Chords + Melody): [No Speech]
36. Silent Night (Chords + Melody): I would like to say
well done so far, if you have gotten up to
this point of the song. So we're now playing a
chords with the melody. The reason why I've placed
the hands further apart is because they end up clashing at a certain point of the song. So I thought it would better we keep the right hand up here and the left hand down here,
so there is no clashes. Alright, so the first part,
we play the C major chord, so that's CEG, and we'll play
that over this part here. Yeah. If we do left hand by itself, it'll be like this one, two, three, one, two,
three, like that. So just practice doing the left hand before you add
the right hand. Then eventually, you'll be
able to play it like this. Okay, and next part, we now play the G chord in the
left hand, that's GBD. And the same way we
play the C major chord, we play the G major chord, so one, two, three,
one, two, three. Then we go back to
the C major chord. One, two, three,
one, two, three. So it'll be like this
with the melody. Then back to the C major chord. Do that for one more
time. Then back to C. Let's put that all together.
So from the beginning. Next part B to C. Now we go to the F chord, playing the A note
in the right hand. So back to the C chord. Um Uh go back to the F
chord, repeating it again. And see. Okay. This part
here, we're going to have some new chords
now. I'll show you. So G chord with the D. So now the new chord is
the G sharp diminished. All we got to do is move
our little finger up once. So up here to the G sharp, that'll be on the F note. So then we go to the
G sharp diminished. But that. The next part is Then
E and D, but D major. So D A. Okay, let's
do it from that part. So here. Okay, I want you to practice
that? I'll do it slower. All right, so work on that. Let's put it all together
from the beginning. Okay? So from the
very beginning. It's the first
section. Next section. Now the next part. So back to F. Now, the new part. Then to G shop Cord
then go to D major. Then last part is. Then it goes to G. Back to C. One more time. So C major. Then it goes to G major. Then back to C major. I'll see you next as I share
the base with the cords.
37. Demo - Silent Night (Bass and Chords): [No Speech]
38. Silent Night (Bass + Chords) : So So we are now moving the chords from the left hand to the right hand, and we are playing the bass notes the same way we
played previously. I'm going to play it, then I would like to
play after me, okay? So the first part is Si, Knight. How Knight. Okay, so every chord, you're holding down for
three counts, so one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three,
one, two, three. That's the first part.
Okay? So so Si learn. H then. Then we go to the G major chord. So in your right
hand, that'll be GBD, right with the base
note G. So all is calm. Then back to the C major chord. A is bright. Okay, then go to
the F major chord. F major twice. Then
back to C major. Then again, C major.
Let's stop there. Let's go to the very beginning. I don't want to go too
fast for you, okay? So let's do it from
the very beginning. Si, Lent NH Len then to G is C then is B, then
go to the F chord. F chord twice, back to
C cord. Then F twice. Then C twice. Then
the next part, which is G major chord, so go G major. Now, remember the G
sharp diminished? Let's put your finger
up on the G sharp, diminished note, and the
cords put your thumb up once. Then go to A minor. Then go to D major. But now I'll play D major as F sharp AD in your right hand. Oh. Okay, then C major. Then back to G major. Then back to C major. So to help you with the
bass and the chords, try singing or just saying the words as
you're playing it. So well done in
