The First Noel Free Piano Lesson

In this free piano lesson we will be learning the song 'The First Noel' with a neo-classical twist. We will be using a simple repetitive ostinato pattern for the left hand while our right hand focuses on the melody. We will be playing this old Christmas classic in the key of C Major. To keep it simple, we will only use a few chords which are listed below the way I play them in this piano video.

C Major Scale = c-d-e-f-g-a-b-c

C Chord= c-e-g

F Chord= f-a-c

G Chord= g-b-d

It is a good idea to get the left hand down by practicing it for a few minutes. You can check out the ostinato pattern under the left hand pattern section to see just how it is done in this video. You will also need to know the inversions of all these chords as well as the chords themselves. We also have an article on easy chord construction as well that will assist with this song.
