Anyone got a simple Christmas book
« on: October 21, 2022, 07:54:56 PM »
Has anyone got a simple Christmas music book that they could share online.  It’s for my wife, we are both pensioners so her eyes are not as good as they were but she enjoys having a go. She can play a bit on my Genos with cardboard cutout letters on the keys if I set it up for her but it needs to be easy for her to play. I’m happy to buy a book from Amazon if no one has a copy but I thought I would ask first.

Good for her, Oldden. When you mentioned carboard cutouts for the keys, it took me back to my first year with our Lowrey Holiday organ. It came with those. The year was 1960. I was 7 and it was the first year I played organ.

Most of the traditional Christmas songs are in the public domain now. You should be able to find simple scores online for free. It's also good that Stijn sent you a PM. He is a wealth of information, which I have recently discovered 😊.
"Learn" your music correctly, then "practice" it. Don't practice mistakes because you'll learn them.

Hi Dennis,

You are a "Senior Member", so you have access to the Charter Member's Boards.  You'll find a lot of easy Christmas books there, many of which are the "Big Notes" books. :)

I taught my parents how to play the organ using cardboard cutout notes on the keys too.  :)

My best regards,
Roger

Here is my collection of Christmas songs with larger notes for us oldsters: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsHi9Gh31gfOjK1owBbZJ4VjXWHpnQ?e=zHeiAm

They're designed for a tablet, but work just as well on paper.

Cheers,

Many thanks Fred,
 I took the liberty and downloaded your file also; May I be cheeky once again and ask to have you or anybody created a Christmas Playlist for the Genos.

regards Steve
