It’s rare that I find a new Christmas song! After years of gigging, I feel like I’ve heard them all…
But this year my friend Tiffany put out an arranging challenge for the Scottish Christmas tune, Christmas Day Ida Morning. In shock, I realized I didn’t know it! I had to start learning it from scratch!
First I listened to the melody over on over. Then I learned the right hand finger shapes for the melody. Finally, I tried to hear in the stillness what chords I wanted in the harmony, testing different tones and rhythms.
Only after weeks of playing it this way did I let myself write it down! And now I’m giving it away! You can get your FREE SHEET MUSIC in your inbox right here!
