10 Popular Christmas Carols for Easy Piano

These versions of Ten Popular Christmas Carols are very straightforward, easy arrangements for piano. At all times there are no more than two notes in the right hand and only one note in the left hand.

Yet unlike most easy arrangements these maintain full harmonic integrity throughout with creative use of 3 part harmony. Also, the occasional use of some more advanced harmony can give the overall feel of something beyond just basic beginner music.

Ideal for social occasions during the Festive season, church or personal use.

The carols chosen are some of the most requested songs during the Holiday period and the keys chosen will be useful to accompany singing if required.

The arrangements in Christmas: Songs on the Black Keys are great for new beginner piano students who can read using finger numbers on the black keys, but aren\'t ready to make the jump to reading with all alpha notes. For example, songs like \"O Christmas Tree\" introduce the B and F keys, but keeps the rest of the fingers on the black keys.

Every song has an illustration of the hand position. Notes are color-coded by hand-- green for right hand and red for left hand. Illustrations of each hand are also included at the start of each song which is vital for those pre-school kids that still have trouble telling right from left. The result is a set of songs attractive and playable for beginners of all ages.

Lyrics included with most songs. Some songs contain religious content. Check my profile for the secular version.

26 pages, landscape. Easy for pre-readers and beginners.

Preschool. Finger numbers. Pre-staff / prestaff, pre-reader / prereader, pre-reading / prereading. Beginner. Late beginners.
