In The Bleak Midwinter (Mid-Intermediate) Sheet Music
The arrangement highlights the song’s beautiful melodies and calming nature. It’s such a nice piece to add to your holiday repertoire! Among the many lush rolled chords and arpeggios, you’ll get to play a few left and right-hand harmonics along with a glissando. There are some challenging moments where the left hand jumps around registers. But if you learn along with the video course, Carrie will show you exactly how to practice these moments so they feel exciting rather than intimidating. You’ll get lots of tips on what to focus on as you practice so that you can learn it in time for Christmas!
