White Christmas Glockenspiel / Xylophone Sheet Music and Note Chart
Although written in a major scale, the song uses two additional chromatic notes. We present here the song in C major, as it is the easiest way to play it on the glockenspiel or xylophone. As you can see on the following chart, only two notes of the upper row are used: D# and F#. The song is of intermediate level.
Watch the video a couple of times and study each part at your own pace until you get the hang of it. Remember to use both mallets as much as you can. For this purpose avoid using only the hand that is more convenient for you (e.g. the right one if you’re right-handed) as this an important basic technique.
