1. Bass Notes

     Be aware of the length of the Bass Notes. Keep your fingers down to let the bass notes ring. Use your remaining fingers to play the melodies.

2. Tempo

    Go slow and steady at first. Use the metronome on the webpage at a slow setting first then speed it up as you get more comfortable.

3. Fingerings

    Be aware of all right and left hand fingerings. Take your time with measure four and make sure you get the right hand fingering correct. It will make the piece smoother.

4. Time Signature

    Carol of the Bells is in 3/4 time. This means that there are 3 beats per bar.

5. Right Hand

    Practice the melodies using both rest stroke and free stroke.
