Like all these xmas songs that I’ve arranged, the melody is always played ad lib, meaning as you want. How would you sing it? I’ve had a bit of a hard time notating these melodies since it looks ridiculous to notate every triplet… So don’t put too much effort into analyzing the rhythm of the melody, just play it like you would sing it.

However, Jingle Bells is fairly straight forward :)

col legno means to use the wood on the bow. Just for special effect; it’s optional.

Feel free to play whichever part you want to regardless of where the little red dot is!
