    The book contains Christmas songs transposed to easier keys for violin and provides fingerings to help play the songs.

    The book discusses the standard finger pattern of E-F#-G-A on the D string and introduces the terms L2, L1, H3, and L4 to describe variations on the standard finger patterns.

    To swing eighth notes means to make the first note of a pair of eighth notes slightly longer than the second note.

    How To Use This Book

    During the holidays, it’s wonderful to be able to play through all of your favorite Christmas
    songs on the violin. Often times, you will find the music is in a key signature that contains
    several sharps or flats, key signatures that are not fun to play on the violin.

    I’ve tried to solve that issue by transposing favorite carols and Christmas songs into the easiest
    keys to play on the violin. You’ll find all of the songs in this book are in the key of C, G, D, or F
    major.

    Throughout the book, you’ll find I’ve denoted fingerings to help you know where to put your
    fingers. The standard finger pattern that is often learned first is a “high” 2nd finger that is right
    next to 3rd finger. For example, on the D string, starting on the 1st finger, this finger pattern
    would be E-F#-G-A. I consider this the standard finger pattern.

    You will often see “L2” which is short for low 2nd finger. A low 2nd finger will be right next to
    the 1st finger. A “L1” is a low 1, which is a half step below the normal 1st finger. A high 3 or
    “H3” is a half step above the normal 3rd finger. A low 4th finger or “L4” is a half step lower than
    the normal 4th finger.

    Some songs have the words “Swing” or “Swing the 8th notes” at the beginning of the song. This
    tells you that all of the eighth notes are not played as equal notes. To swing the eighth notes
    means to make the first note slightly longer than the second eighth note.

    I hope this book makes it easy for you to enjoy playing your favorite Christmas songs this
    holiday season.

    Merry Christmas and Happy Practicing!
