It’s cold this time of year. The perfect excuse to snuggle up at home and enjoy some fine food, a good film and maybe even some songs around the piano!
1. Gather family & friends’ round
Whether it’s the living room, dining room or hallway, make it a cosy, festive-feeling spot and somewhere easy to access throughout the Christmas season (and beyond). At this time of year, it’s lovely to be able to bring friends and family together round the piano to sing some Christmas carols.
2. Decorate your piano
The chances are that the rest of your home has been given a Christmas makeover, and your piano should be no exception. Piano decorating is popular within the interior design community, so why not try adding some sparkle to your piano with some tinsel, ribbon or foliage? Remember to keep it light, as placing heavy items on top of your piano is not recommended.
3. Treat your loved ones to some piano gifts

4. Learn some Christmas tunes
By downloading some Christmas piano sheet music and rehearsing ahead of the big day, you’ll have entertainment on tap for every Christmas party and get-together that you host. Choose some of your Christmas favourites to add to your repertoire this year or opt for something more contemporary to see you through the New Year’s Eve celebrations.
5. Show your piano some love
Pianos are sensitive instruments and as such require regular tuning to ensure they can be played in all their glory. Atmospheric changes, like temperature and barometric pressures, can cause wood to swell and contract, making the pitch drop. It’s therefore important that you tune your piano on a regular basis to ensure that you get a clear and consistent sound. Booking a professional piano tuner is the best option, as tuning a piano without prior experience could cause long-lasting and expensive damage.
