“Mary, Did You Know?” is a well-known Christmas song filled with awe and hope of why we celebrate Christmas! Skills learned in this piece include lots of syncopated rhythms, rolled chords, a few lever changes, and quick placing of 4-finger shapes. This is a great piece to learn if you are looking for a bit of a challenge. We will break down those syncopated rhythms in the video course, and you’ll know them so well you could play them in your sleep!

I thought the initial video going over each section went way too fast for me to learn the notes. Then the practice tips video made no sense to me because I had no idea how to put the hands together. I thought it would make more sense if I bought the sheet music, but it didn’t clarify it for me. It was so hard, this is the only course I haven’t completed that I’ve purchased from this site. I liked the rhythm exercises and thought they were helpful, but because of the teaching style, I couldn’t get my head around the notes. This style obviously works for other people, but I think I’ll have to stick to Christy-Lynn’s courses, I’m just not very good at putting hands together without guidance.
