Yoke Wong’s Christmas Arrangements How It All Began: I started arranging Christmas music back in the late nineties. During that time, I was often asked to play prelude music at our church Christmas service. Soon I became a new mom. My family took precedent over my business career, so I quit my 9 to 5 and stayed home to raise my children. However, music was a God-given and inspiring part of my life, so I began compiling a series of DVD improvisation courses. The response has been fantastic, but … I realized something was missing: How to improvise Christmas Music! Of course…since if there’s ever a time to sit down and play for friends and family, it’s the joyous Christmas season. And so, I made it a priority to create these special lessons:

The Christmas Arrangement DVD Course! It’s interesting: Every year I perform Christmas arrangements, it always sounds different than the year before. I know this is partly due to my improved piano-playing skills, but most of all it comes from a deepening understanding of the meaning of Christmas and Our Lord’s birth.

It’s my sincere hope these special arrangements will not only help improve your piano improvising and arrangement abilities, but increase the joy and promise of peace that only this special time of the year seems to create. There’s no doubt in my mind that once you start playing these wonderful tunes, Christmas will have a wonderful new meaning in your life as well. Even though this Christmas DVD set comes with sheet music, my goal is for you to start improvising and infusing these holiday pieces with your own unique, personal style. Think of the sheet music provided with this binder as a guide, encouraging you to understand and analyze the meaning behind the music. Then play as the Lord intended – free, joy filled and soul inspired. I truly wish you a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year. Cordially, Yoke Wong P.S. I still remember the night I asked God to prepare me to be a better pianist in order to serve Him well. These arrangements are results of my prayers.

How to Practice Piano

I used to practice piano for hours on any given day. Only recently did I realize my time and

efforts were not being put to good use. Now I would like to share some of the important

information that redirected me. These suggestions will help you or your children make better use

of your practice time.

1. Practice only one portion at a time. Have you heard the saying: "How do you eat an elephant?

One bite at a time. This is true for any task. Do not practice the whole piece in one day. Take the

piano piece you are going to learn and break it up into smaller, more manageable portions. You

will need time to digest each part. Fingers need to become familiar with the location and touch of

the notes.

2. Analyze the piece by observing repeated segments. Very often a music piece has these

repeating segments. Sometimes these segments might vary slightly. By doing this analysis, you

may be practicing only a small segment, but you are actually covering the repeated portions that

appear later on in the same piece.

Also analyze the forms of the piece. A common music form is ABA, AABA, AABB, ABCA, etc.

3. Chord/Cadence Analysis. The same chord may appear for a few measures. This is true for

music in any musical period (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern, etc.). If you notice the

same chord repeating for many measures, the notes within those measures belong to the same

chord and scale. Doing this analysis will help your sight reading abilities and help you predict the

chord and notes ahead of time.

4. Warm up your fingers by playing the key of the piece. If the music piece is in the key of A

major, you may want to warm up your A major scale by playing it numerous times to acquire a

feel of the A major tone and fingering.

5. Write down the three most important chords of the key. If the piece is in the key of A major,

you may write down the tonic, dominant, and subdominant chord respectively. They are A chord,

D chord, and E chord. You will soon discover the left hand part of the music is comprised mostly

of these three chords. This is true for any type of music. These three chords are the ones mostly

used and harmonized.

6. Practice each hand separately at first. This method is most useful if you are playing pieces from

the Baroque period. Music composed by Bach has many themes. Very often each hand is playing

a different subject. Practice slowly in the beginning and speed up once you have a good

understanding of the piece. This is important when you have a music piece that varies in rhythm

(going from a quarter note to a half note, dotted quarter note, etc.).

7. Do not lose your sanity! Some music can be frustrating to learn. Keep a positive attitude. Even

though you are practicing a small portion at a time, you are still making progress. Some advanced

repertoires take 4-6 months or even longer to master.

I hope the above suggestions help make your practice more productive.
