Jingle Bells for 2 Violins - FREE Sheet Music

Happy Holidays! If I had a magic wand and could give all of you the gift that I really want to share with everyone reading this, it would be an event that drew us together into a *giant play along of holiday music with plenty of time scheduled for getting to know each other and eat cookies. 


How exciting would that be? 


That is currently impossible for me to organize, BUT, I can share some of the most favorite tunes from the holiday season with you so that you can play music and of course, eat cookies. Please enjoy some free downloads of Jingle Bells sheet music arranged for violin: a duet version and a LARGE print with fingerings for beginners version. These are currently posted on my FREEBIES page.


There is no shortage of ways to be musical and connect with this great joy that we share:

• Set-up a play-date
• Forward to your students
• Post on Facebook
• Post on Pinterest
• Organize an outreach performance
• Have a reason to practice over winter break
• Explore a fun new arrangement with doublestops
• Make a video for loved ones who live far away
• Create a home concert

So, please head on over to the M4YV FREEBIES page to download a Jingle Bells duet from the Holiday JOY! collection. I made a slight change in this from the original publication so you may want to download again if you received the original arrangement 2 + years ago. I created this duet for my studio and it is designed to have a majority of players play the melody so the accompaniment part may sound a little overpowering with just 2 players. 


Also on the FREEBIES page is a LARGE print version of Jingle Bells for beginners. This is featured in the LARGE Print Music for Beginning Violin collection. An enlarged format is perfect for any musician who is new to reading music since it makes it much more accessible. 


BONUS - Both of these collections are on sale at 50% off thru the end of the month.


Happy music making and thank you for your support!

• Speaking of large groups of violinists getting together, in 2011, a Guinness World Record was set in Taiwan with the largest ever violin ensemble when 4,645 violinists played together. The participants were all students from local schools aged 7 -15 and they played three pieces composed by a local musician named Arbin Yang. The adjudicator declared this as one of the most incredible he had ever attended:

​
"The sound of over 4,000 violinists playing together in harmony was like nothing I've ever experienced, and it was made all the more amazing to think that the last time anyone heard a sound like that was over 80 years ago, when the last record was set in at the Royal Albert Hall in London in 1925."
