Use this free printout to learn how to play Irving Berlin’s White Christmas on the piano by ear. Just follow the directions on my post How to Teach Kids to Play by Ear.
White Christmas is believed to be the best selling single of all time. You can easily learn to play this beautiful, nostalgic melody using this printout.
You’ll be learning how to play in the key of C. You should note that there are accidentals in this song, but don’t let that intimidate you if you’re a beginner. They are easy to find and I’ll give you a hint: you only use the highlighted black keys during the line “I’m dreaming of a white Christmas.” The rest of the song stays on only white keys.
This printout focuses on the well-known chorus of White Christmas. If you want to learn the beginning of the song your starting note will be C and there are accidentals during the line “And I am longing to be up North.”
