Here?sa bright and attractive collection of twenty traditional Christmas songs andcarols intended for the elementary pianist or keyboard player. The notation is kept as simple as possible and musical elements such as dynamics,articulations, phrasing and slurs are omitted completely. The piano part,which also includes chords, is printed in large type.It's an ideal item for schools, and especially piano teachers for some seasonal sight-reading for students. The chords are printed below the stave rather than above, to allow space for fingering suggestions. Fingerings are omitted during repeated passages or when the fingering is considered obvious.
