How to use this Pre-Reading Alphanote Christmas Carols with Chords book
This guide includes:
- Christmas Carols with chords
- Chord pictures
- Piano note guide
Christmas Carols with chords
Each Christmas carol is presented with alphanotes (note names in note heads) so that it can be used by any pianist who knows their piano keys.
It is a good idea to work on the right hand (melody) first, then practice the left hand (chords) second, then put them together. If it is tricky to put hands together, always go slower!
Chord Pictures
If you are new to chords, this book provides everything you need to add chords to your Christmas melodies! The chord pictures show you which piano keys to press to play the appropriate chords.
If you’re struggling to connect which chords go where in the carol, highlight each different chord for both the carol and chord pattern (or use colored pencils) to help you quickly match the chord to where it belongs.
Piano Note Guide
If you need extra assistance in remembering exactly what the piano keys are, each carol has a Piano Note Guide for the keys you will press for that carol.
Finger Numbers
Each carol has finger numbers to help you play the carol fluently. These numbers are given in light gray for the right hand.

I appreciate have the note names written in the note heads for beginning piano students. I like having the image of the piano keys with the letter names for the treble clef/right hand. Having the pictures of the piano keys used for each chord will help facilitate adding the left hand. I look forward to using these carols with my students.
