Description
Are your piano students anxious to play Christmas carols in October? If so, you can whet their appetites with this little song. Beginning in A minor, it sounds sinister as Santa laughs, “Ho-ho-ho! Hee-hee-hee!” Then, Santa puts on his merry face in the middle section in F major as we hear a bit of “Jolly Old St. Nicholas.” The piece concludes with the A minor section again and a big “Boo!” at the end. This is within reach of many late first-year students.
