Early Intermediate [Level 3-4] Easy Piano Solo | Jazz Ballad | Holiday/Christmas/Winter

Arrangement by Phoenix.

This Christmas classic has always been a favorite of mine with its free rhythm, sweeping melody line, and, best of all, its lush jazz harmonies.  However, even my intermediate piano students struggle with the chords of this song as they are so chromatic and ever-changing.
I've created this arrangement just for those pianists who want a great sounding jazz arrangement of The Christmas Song, but don't want to spend months figuring out the four-note chords full of sharps and flats in every measure!
Yes, you'll still get the same jazz chords throughout, but the song is set in the key of C major and most chords are represented with 1-2 notes in the right hand plus 2-3 notes in the left hand.  It's still challenging, but accessible.

This arrangement is available for purchase as a digital download on SheetMusicDirect and SheetMusicPlus.
