A Little Mid-Year Christmas Cheer

Here is a little pack of 6 Christmas carols I arranged to go along with my new short play adaption of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. They can be used in conjunction with the play for audience participation or on their own. I arranged them with the ukulele in mind, and even though they don’t include chord charts, they are all in ukulele friendly keys with ukulele friendly chords (Bbadd9 is used a lot, one of my favorite chords, fretted 3213).

Included in the pack of 6 Christmas carols:

  1. Hark! the Herald Angels Sing
  2. God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen
  3. The First Noel
  4. Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella
  5. Good King Wenceslas
  6. Joy to the World

All six of these well-known traditional carols would also have been available to the public at the time Dickens’ first wrote his Christmas masterpiece.

Christmas in July Class & Festival

I’ll be teaching a free 3-week class on these carols, 4pm on the first three Wednesdays in July at my studio in American Fork, UT. This will be leading up to our first ever Christmas in July Festival, July 23rd 2022 in Highland, UT. If you’re interested in attending the ukulele class in person, feel free to email me at ryan@ukuleleplay.com


Ryan's favorite starter ukulele: The Enya Nova U Concert Ukulele 23” on Amazon sounds great, is easy to play, in tune and nearly indestructable. "I left it in the car through the heat of summer to see what would happen, and it still plays beautifully."
