Well I suppose if we all start practicing now we should be ready by Christmas 2020.

[@aldebaran.carrasco.martinez]

Hahahahahahaha

[@ruguoserliegise2716]

First page you be like, oh this isn’t too bad. Come second page, “It’s a no for me” (Simon Cowell style) Classic Jacob Koller move

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Haha.

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Yeah. I don't throw in all my tricks on the first page.

[@Yenlii]

How’s going on after almost half way through? : D

[@Tuindwergje]

Only 100 days bois

[@JacobKollerMusic]

It'll be here before you know it. It always sneaks up on me.

[@abisamraj4408]

Honestly I don't have any vocabulary to appreciate the arrangement by the way I have couple of things to ask how old are you and do you play any other instruments thank you

[@JacobKollerMusic]

In my 30's and I used to play guitar and bass guitar but don't anymore.

[@TimTheEnchanter170]

All I want for Christmas is Jocob's piano skills.

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Ask Santa.

[@Walexander3243]

The present is already there at your piano. Sure helps to play for 2 decades before sitting down though. So disheartening to try and play arrangements of Jacob's after nothing having touched my piano in easily 4 years now. So much work to catch back up on! One day tho! Keep inspiring me with these arrangements

[@robertlulek1634]

@@JacobKollerMusic I’ll let you do all the work of writing the music I’ll just get a note for note transcription and play as you do! Thanks soooo much Jacob!!

[@thomasrichnafsky6663]

That gentleman is gifted…no written music in front of him. I would play a four-hour gig without looking at a written note but absolutely nowhere near the intricacies of this guy. I love the alternate jazz chords!

[@TimTheEnchanter170]

​@JacobKollerMusic Well Santa ignored me 5 times so far. Here's to hoping he answers my wish this upcoming Christmas. 🤞

[@byfrax2371]

Great that you uploaded this christmas song so early. This way i actually may have enough time to practice until christmas... or maybe i don't.

[@JacobKollerMusic]

That was the idea of uploading it early. I have plenty more coming later in the fall.

[@cuonglong9349]

He's saying we need 3 months to learn this

[@ruguoserliegise2716]

topea bogdan exactly!

[@lordalexvw]

I think I need 15 months to learn this

[@JacobKollerMusic]

You are exactly right. Time to get started now

[@TimTheEnchanter170]

I need like, 3 years. Christmas 2021 will be lit though.

[@Yopi69]

I would need three lifetimes

[@graf]

But it's September 🤔

[@graf]

Christmas came early I suppose

[@chrisma1089]

But it‘s Wonderful!!!!! 😍

[@michaeldumas4907]

if you start now u can play it by 2020...lol....it really is brilliant though

[@JacobKollerMusic]

I know it's early. It's a chance for my pianist subscribers to get started on some new repertoire. I'll save the other Christmas vids for later in the fall.

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Exactly!

[@TheAndreas1008]

I was 100% sure I clicked on a video by Jacob Collier, but you didn't disappointed! What a wonderful cover.

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Thank you so much.

[@benjaminwalters6703]

I found your channel thinking you were Jacob Collier but I don't regret it

[@Bethmeister59]

3:49 - What fingering in this section? 😱 I’m working on this, it’s going really well, but this measure of RH- bar 64… this is me: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This arrangement is just fabulous! LOVE it.

[@razzerraw1108]

You don't understand how much this touched me, I'm in a dark place in my life and this made me feel better

[@scottelbourne5866]

RazzerRaw I hope you’ve had a better year mate. I don’t know you but am thinking of you. Take care. 🙂

sending love fren.

Thanks for uploading early so we have some time to learn.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@isabellab6089]

It's July. And i'm listening to this over and over again. yeay!

[@tobismo6647]

Well I better start practicing ready for Christmas! Lovely composition.

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Definitely time to get ready before it's too late.

[@marcobeltran7218]

Just a minute in and I’m already amazed. Great job as always Jake. I love your content, and as a pianist myself, I hope I one day get even a little close to your level of skill and arranging creativity.

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Thank you so much! Best of luck with your playing!

[@chenliu8854]

really hard for me to play a 10th interval on the left hand...fingers too short ):

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Just play them as octaves or roll it from the bottom up. It won’t make a big difference in the overall sound. Thanks for the comment and for watching my channel!

[@chenliu8854]

@@JacobKollerMusic Thanks a lot, Jacob! I just can't wait for being at your concert. Do you have any upcoming tour lists?

[@theinsider6747]

Hello. I am Jieun chun. 23years old Korean student. I found your book 'Christmas Jazz Piano'last feburary and i fall in love with jazz music. I am one of your fan. Even if i'm just a beginner.. i hope i can play this song like you. You have your own beauty and i have a great regard for you.

こんなにも素晴らしい演奏が無料で聞けるなんて、、ありがとうございます！！ クリスマスのウキウキする感じと少し切ないような感じが一気に押し寄せてきて本当に幸せな4分間でした！！

[@JacobKollerMusic]

ありがとうございます！

[@jumelvincentgarnica8569]

But it's not even Christmas yet. Jokes aside, this music is really pleasing to the ears. Those jazzy harmonies give me goosebumps.

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Thank you so much! I know it's early.

[@try2tri811]

Too early! Not early enough!!! Its going to take me months to learn these arrangements. So glad they are here now

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Yeah it's too early to listen but not to practice, That's why I uploaded one video early to get people thinking about practicing some new arrangements.

[@eligarf]

🤩 that’s some beautiful arrangement 🤩 Reminds me of the Chopin Nocturne I was just learning. 🎶 bravo 👏 and thanks 😊 🎹 🎅

[@a.dejesus792]

Absolutely wonderful. Beautiful transitions. You certainly are a very gifted artist.

[@davidbrussard-composer7372]

Thank you so much!

[@charlizesentosa1592]

I love this vibe! Could you please do a similar vibe to The Christmas Song? :)

[@pinkegg3179]

I just bought your book, this will keep me occupied for quite a while lol I've had my ARCT from Toronto long ago, have just started learning to play jazz and gosh it's so different. Every chord goes against what I'm used to. I've spent over an hour learning the notes of the first page of this piece lol came back to check how it's meant to be played. Thankyou so much! I look forward to your next book

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Thank you so much! Best of luck with your playing

[@seancloser]

Nice, n I m using a Boston too.

[@minjishin331]

I really like your sound. I can't stop the video.

Hi, just want to let you know, I just bought your pdf because I'm so amazed with all of your arrangements and playing (sadly the pdf version doesn't have cover like book edition 😬), but anyway very glad that you're a teacher too, all the notes are neatly written. I notice you play wide range of chords (10 notes, where my hand only reaches 9 notes) which I find difficult for my hand to stretch like yours 😅 but afterall I like your book a lot! Thank you 😁

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Yosefien Moudy thank you so much. The only reason I didn’t include the cover in the ebook is because it makes the file considerably larger which makes it harder to use in applications. I felt bad about leaving it out though. Anyway. Thanks so much for the comment and for playing my arrangements!

Great, Wonderful, extraordinary harmony... Mr Koller can you give us the sheet music? Thanks a lot for this performance... From México city

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Thanks Jorge. I wish I could afford to give away all my music for free but I have to pay the bills somehow. It is available for $5.00 USD. or the E-Book of 20 arrangements for $20.

Great piece. I'll probably do it someday.

[@dafonseca1971]

I have to play honestly this tune, with a few arpegios, spread voicings and block chords i will be fine, in line with my actual skills. I cannot play like Jacob this tune not now, nor in 2030. Amaizing talent.

After a 15year hiatus I’m back taking piano...I was registering to Joey Alexander’s version, when I came across yours, I was blown away. As i’m beginning to enjoy piano for the first time even after 15 years of lessons, I hope to incorporate at least half as good the way wonderful arrangements you included here. I’ll have to see what other stuff you have.

Yes it is unless you're a pianist and you want to start working on some Christmas repertoire. That's why I released one song now to give my piano playing subscribers a chance to get ready for the season. I'll save the others for later in the year.
