Skating (piano)

Although I don't like to skate on ice, I still like playing this song. Even when it's not Christmastime.

the part with the pedal and the crossing over in the right hand that repeats...how do you play that? do you cross over your 2&4 fingers or do use 1&2 finger method to lessen the amount of 3&5 fingering at that part? hopefully that makes sense to you lol. just curious cuz im having trouble....

I use 3rd intervals with my right hand on the main theme. I cross over when it comes to a new measure from the 1 and 3 fingers to continue playing the song without any breaks.  It basically goes into a new chord position when crossing over, starting out with the 2 and 4 fingers.

@PianoMagnet3 Great job on this piece! I have been struggling to get the rhythm for the intro for some time now. Are you playing 3 notes per measure with the left hand or is there a fourth in there somewhere? Sounds like a fourth. Thanks for your help!

@byrarant

3 notes per measure.

[PianoMagnet3]

A piano book titled, "The peanuts illustrated songbook."
