Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Brand Gunnell. I'm a music teacher here in Orlando, Florida. I teach piano and guitar. I'm here today on behalf of Expert Village to teach you how to play Jungle Bell on your piano. So, here how it's going to sound when your done if you put both hands together. Again, this is a very simple version and it's just the chorus. This going to be pretty easy to play with your hands. We're going down here in C position. What that means is your take your thumb as one, and you?re going to take your index as two, your middle is three, your ring is four, and your pinkie is five. We're going to lay them down starting with your thumb on middle C. Just let them all fall right in line. So, you have C, D, E, F and G. Those the only notes we're going to be using on our right hand. On our left hand, we're going to put C, D, E, F, G with your thumb, 1, on G right there. And those the only notes we're going to using in our left hand with one slight exception. We going to be using the F sharp just once in the seventh measure. So just be ready for that but we're going to have C, D, E, F, G and C, D, E, F, G, okay. The time signature on this is 4/4. What that means is every measure is going to get four beats. So, if you notice when I play the first thing is going to sound one, two, three, four: one, two, three, four like that okay."
