Fun Facts
Explanations
- An Advent calendar is used to count the days of Advent in anticipation of Christmas.
Trivia
- The Decemberweenvent calendar is from the Scales of an Artist Beginner piano series.
- The scale chart on Day 1 reads "Crispy Duck Eggs For Goodness And Badness, Champ!"
- The update is more stylized than the others, with most characters gaining noses and being drawn in a style loosely resembling Alfred's Basic Piano.
- All of the sheet music (so far) is written and played in the key of C major, and 4/4-time signature.
Remarks
- The instructions on Day 2 say to use your staving fingers to play this kids' learn-em-up song.
- The instructions on Day 3 show how to play piano with boxing gloves on.
- The keys for Day 1 are clickable, but do nothing.
