Jolly Old St. Nicholas - a time tested favorite tune - is this week's lesson.



As a piano student, you should be able to understand the notes and the key signature in the following well known tune about Saint Nicholas (later better known as Santa (meaning Saint, in Italian) and Clause (a contraction of NiCoLAS). If you're reading this in your email, click on the title above or the "posted by Rick to PianoLessonsEtc.com" line at the bottom to view the video.



Whenever anyone jokes about whether they "believe in Santa Clause" or not, after watching the following video you can tell that person that not only do you believe in Santa but that you know where he's buried too-- because Santa in real life was Saint Nicholas in the year 200 in Turkey, near Constantinople-- which became the new capital of the Eastern Byzantine surviving HALF of the Roman Empire. If you're reading this in your email, click on the title above or the "posted by Rick to PianoLessonsEtc.com" line at the bottom to view the video.



We're going to learn more about this tune and other Saint Nicholas and Santa Clause tunes in upcoming weeks-- at least until the "big day"-- the 25th. To stay up to date on this topic, bookmark the following discussion thread. SAINT NICHOLAS - Santa Clause - Real history
