Hi Megan,

Thanks for your comments, it’s appreciated.

I’m hoping to do more of these in 2010, not just for Christmas carols. I know that they’ve been helping a number of people, despite the comments. Your encouragement helps

Hi Andy,
I just wanted to congratulate you for your efforts.
I have read some of the nice and not so nice comments previously posted, so I wanted to give you some encouragement.
I am a conservatorium-trained pianist and have taught for many years.
Whilst prowling for another copy of a Schubert Impromptu, I stumbled across your website.
Good on you for supporting the many aspiring musicians out there.

LOL Laura you’re such a troll, and a low quality one at that.

At least some trolls have a basic grasp of the English language.

I assume your message should read:

“This song doesn’t even sound right. Why is it so hard for you to give me what I asked you? Your website is so screwed up. Get it fixed quick you retard!”

Is that what you meant, Laura Conneely?

In that case, please tell me what it is you want to know, and I’ll help you. If, however, you’re just a troll, we’ll leave it here.

This is good and very simple. As a reply to the negative comments, it’s a shame that you are unable to learn the notes for themselves. This is a ninteenth century hymn, not the Jonas Brothers or Green Day. You cannot simply memorize three chords and be able to play the ‘music’. There is melody involved.

One thing would like to see is transpositions. C is a difficult key for the female voice; A would be better.

Thanks very much for this article! I really appreciate that you took the time and effort to put this together, and I hope you don’t let the negative comments get you down.

My piano instructor just introduced us to improvising to simple melodies last week (using this exact song! ), but I’ve been finding it hard to wrap my head around the whole idea of identifying chords, much less improvising them. So this was just perfect for someone like me, and I thought the explanation was really helpful and clear.

tx!

dear isis you are the one that is stupid! children learning the keyboard or piano will be starting off on a keyboard that has the letters printed on them, also on some more advanced keyboards the letters are at the lower end. i had to put this because you sounded so pompus and arrogant i just had to put you right. you need to remember the type of people the website is aimed for “beginners”. plus i think this website is great as we have been looking for some free sheets with letters for my son to practice other than the ones he is bringing home from school. looking forward to seeing more.
