Sing free/Jingle Bells

Singing is a lot more fun if you have someone to accompany you. Here you can sing to an electronic imitation of a piano. Chords are also shown if you have a friend interested in learning the guitar or other instrument.

Why so many keys and versions: Two different versions of Jingle Bells^[1] are included because if an adult is singing it, small children are likely to be in the picture. Part of this song's popularity with children is the fact that the refrain is so easy to learn. With a range that spans one octave plus a whole note, many of us have difficulty spanning the full version's range unless the key is just right.

How to change tempo or download the sound file: Many people like to learn a song by practicing it at different tempos. The easiest way to do this is to click on the three vertical dots, as shown to the right. Then select "Playback speed". You can also download the MP3 file.

Play the melody and piano accompaniment by clicking the triangle below the score.
