This is not an easy TIME SIGNATURE - at all! - for beginners, but use a lot of singing (and send them to a video, if necessary) and your students will get it. Six beats are odd, but not impossible.

Analyze the chord patterns of this easy kids Christmas piano sheet music:
For the most part, the left hand chords are played much like a cadence that remains in closed position. "Bottom, top; bottom, top"; that's what I call these split chords for my students.
The fingering of the melody is likely to be the trickiest part of learning this Christmas song, occasioned by the fact we have 6 melody notes but only 5 fingers.
I haven't put any fingering in with this song - that is the student's job, or yours, the teacher, this time!
Below are the lead sheets with chord symbols. I've shown the key of A, a nice key for violin:
Please scroll down the page for the links to the free downloadable PDFs.
Like many Christmas songs, this melody requires only 3 chords - the three main chords I, IV, and V.
I love to transpose a song, with a guitar student telling me which chords are needed.
I will hold up the five fingers of one hand and point (with the other hand) to the thumb, ring finger, and pinky finger of the first hand.
"If my 'One' chord is 'A', then what are my 'Four' and 'Five' chords going to be?" I ask. If there is a long delay, I will say, "A... B... C..." and they will inevitably get the IV and V chord names.
I like the following video by Gene Autry, even though his melody is plainer than the one I supply - and not as I remember it. The Christmas song lyrics are displayed:

I just purchased O Holy Night to use as a duet for Christmas Eve Mass.
Thank you so much for this simple, easy to read version as my vocalists are not professional and this music won't be quite so intimidating as other arrangements I have. Your expertise is much appreciated!! Merry Christmas!
Liz:
Hello - I just want to say THANK YOU so much for the duet version of Oh Holy night (in Bb too!), which is great, as I have two students at school that are going to sing this in a concert in 3 weeks.
With not much time and no budget, it is so nice to find an arrangement! Thank you.
