When playing jingle bells on the piano, what notes does your LEFT hand play?

Q. notes played with your left hand in other words: base cleff

A. Assuming you're playing it in the key of C (where the notes are E-E-E, E-E-E, E-G-C-D-E, etc.), play the following chords with these lyrics:

JINGLE bells, jingle bells...
C Major (C-E-G)

OH what fun it
F Major (F-A-C)

IS to ride in a
C Major (C-E-G)

ONE horse open sleigh...
G major (G-B-D)

Then repeat the above section, but change the last line to be

ONE horse open SLEIGH!
G major (G-B-D) C Major (C-E-G)

Original Question

What are songs that utilize a guitar and piano?(perferablly for beginners)?
Q. I'm learning to play piano and my friend is learning guitar. We want to play together! So song suggestions pleaseeee :D

A. Heeeey i'm a begginer aswell in keyboard. I think the easiest are: twinkle twinkle little star, jingle bells, mary had a little lamb, happy birthday & away in a manger :D I'm not sure wether you can play all of them on the guitar but im sure you can!
There are a couple of ways to go about doing this. I would recommend getting music books to start with. You can look for music books that say on the front piano/guitar/vocal or you can get books that are for one specific instrument and have the other person play the melody line for the vocal. You can get books for guitar and have the guitar play the chords and have the piano play notes from the chords - arpeggiation or even learn how to play chord melody.

Make sure you pick music you like. If you have a hard time picking music you both like then compromise by playing one song one person likes and then switch. It is not necessary to pick music from bands that have both guitar and keyboard as you will often find books that provide music for all instruments. If you are looking for free music try Guitar Noise or look up the term "chord melody" to see what is available.

Make sure you give each other the patience when playing together as you might not gel immediately. Also make sure you practice and most of the time use a metronome when practicing alone so you are able to keep time. It can be very frustrating to play with others when somebody is not in time with the others. You might even want to practice with a metronome when playing together. The keyboard should have this availalbe.

Original Question

How do you transcribe or arrange music?
Q. For people who do this, how do you do it? I think its near impossible for me to listen to something and write it down in a sheet of music. How did you learn to do it?

A. If you don't have an ear to pick out the notes from listening, you can still arrange music by getting a copy of the original song with melody and chords. You use the melody and chords to make your arrangement or transcription of the piece. If you want to learn to do it by ear (without the written music), practice figuring out the melody to simple songs that you know really well like "Jingle Bells," "Deck the Halls," "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," and then when you can do that, move up to harder songs like "The Star Spangled Banner." Listen to the song you are trying to write over and over and over and over and try pluck the notes out on a guitar or piano.
