Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day
And man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day
Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day
While shepherds watch their flocks by night
They see a bright new shining star
They hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from afar
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day
Mmh-mmh
Mmh-hmm
Mmh-mmh
Mmh-mmh-hmm
Mmh-mmh-mmh-hmm
Mmh-hmm-mmh-mmh
For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted
Oh my Lord
You sent Your son to save us
Oh my Lord
Your very self You gave us
Oh my Lord
That sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more
Oh my Lord
When in the crib they found Him
Oh my Lord
A golden halo crowned Him
Oh my Lord
They gathered all around Him
To see Him and adore
Oh my Lord
They had become to doubt You
Oh my Lord
What did they know about You?
Oh my Lord
But they were lost without You
They needed You so bad
Oh my Lord
With the child's adoration
Oh my lord
There came great jubilation
Oh my Lord
And full of admiration
They realized what they had
Oh my Lord
You sent Your son to save us
Oh my Lord
Your very self You gave us
Oh my Lord
Learning Mary's Boy Child (Reggae Version, Flute,Violin) by Jester Hairston is a rewarding way to develop your piano skills. This Intermediate-level piece comes with a 9-page score, so an effective practice routine should match both the technical demands of the music and your current playing level.
How to Practice Mary's Boy Child (Reggae Version, Flute,Violin) Effectively
Start with a short warm-up (5–10 minutes): Warm up your fingers with scales, five-finger patterns, or simple exercises. If the piece contains a particular technique that you find difficult, use a warm-up that prepares your hands for it.
As an Intermediate-level piece, Mary's Boy Child (Reggae Version, Flute,Violin) requires more than simply learning the correct notes. Your practice should combine accuracy, coordination, rhythmic control, and musical expression.
Divide the score into focused sections: The 9-page score is easier to manage when you practice a few measures at a time. Mark transitions, repeated patterns, chord changes, and passages that consistently cause mistakes.
Practice difficult passages separately: When a section feels uncomfortable, stop playing the entire piece and isolate that passage. Practice the transition into the difficult section as well as the difficult notes themselves.
Use a metronome strategically: Start difficult passages slowly and increase the tempo gradually. If accuracy decreases when you speed up, return to the previous tempo instead of forcing the passage at full speed.
Practice hands separately when needed: Work on complicated rhythms, fingering, jumps, or chord patterns with each hand separately before putting them together. Then practice both hands at a slower tempo until the coordination becomes reliable.
Add musical expression: After the notes are secure, focus on dynamics, articulation, phrasing, balance between the hands, and the overall shape of each musical phrase.
Finish with a complete run-through: After focused practice, play as much of the piece as possible without stopping. This helps you connect the individual sections and discover whether a passage that works well on its own also works naturally within the complete piece.
Print and mark the sheet music: Print the score, make your own notes, and practice directly on the printed sheet. Writing and marking the music can help you remember difficult passages more easily.
Practice Tips for Mary's Boy Child (Reggae Version, Flute,Violin)
Consistent practice is more useful than simply spending a long time at the piano.
Set a specific goal for each session, such as improving one difficult transition, increasing the tempo of a short passage, or making the melody more expressive.
As you become more comfortable with the piece, gradually move from technical practice toward a complete and musical performance.
