About this piece
Nobody knows who first wrote Ainglean Chuala Sinn gu h-Àrd (Angels We Have Heard on High); it has come down to us as a traditional carol, and this arrangement is slow and sad-sounding, in a minor key. There is one arrangement: Beginner (level 1 of 5), 0:42 long, in B minor. In the app's library you'll also find it in the Christmas collection.
How to play Ainglean Chuala Sinn gu h-Àrd (Angels We Have Heard on High) on piano
- Find your starting position before you play: look at the first notes on the falling-notes player and place your hand over them, one finger per key.
- Start in Wait mode: the music waits until you press the right key, so you can learn the notes without worrying about speed.
- Practise the right hand alone first. If there's a left-hand part, let the app play it while you learn the melody, then swap.
- Carols are short, so you can learn one in a few sessions. Start a few weeks before you want to play it for others.
- Short daily sessions beat one long weekly one. Ten focused minutes a day is enough to make steady progress.
In the PianoKite app you can learn it with your own digital piano over Bluetooth or USB, or with any piano through the microphone: the score scrolls past a playhead, the keys light up, and every bar gets a score so you can see what's learned.
