Jingle Bells, part one.

With a song as popular as Jingle Bells it’s usually very tempting to start playing longer sections and to try playing the whole song when we are still not ready for it. Since we know the tune it sounds very familiar. We make the false assumption that since we know how it goes it will be easy to learn it. It does help. No doubt about this but still the execution of all the physical motions is a completely different thing than knowing how the tune goes. Or being able to sing it. You have to be really patient and practice it section by section piece by piece. Same as putting together a puzzle.
