"Let It Snow" Jazz Piano Tutorial

Let It Snow is a cheery Christmas song most commonly played in the key of F Major.

The tune follows an AABA form with a 16 bar B section which makes the tune 36 bars long. It’s often played a fast tempos with a syncopated swingin’ feel.

We’re going to start off with a rubato ballad feel in the 1st A Section and then up tempo and move into a swing feel for the 2nd time through. We then reintroduce the ballad feel towards the end of the form to bring the arrangement to a close.
