We Wish You a Merry Christmas Keyboard sheet

A sheet to teach the well known tune using two hands. The tune can be played unaccompanied, but chord symbols are added so a pupil can be accompanied, or more able students might merge chords and tune ignoring the 2 hand fingering. A second sheet puts the right hand tune up an octave and gives indications as to how the right hand changes position. A version for Guitar with Tabs in the same key. Bonus! Jingle Bells for Keyboard and for Guitar with TABS Second Bonus Lulajze Jezuniu for Keyboard

Activities and worksheets to support a practical sequence of lessons on using Keyboards to help understand and apply knowledge of triads. No particular order. The activities could be applied during different KS3 units, such as improvisation, variations, structure, or could be put together to support a keyboard unit.
