Christmas Music for Beginning Piano
Robert Anthony
After releasing Christmas Music for Easy Piano, which is a tool I use to train my piano students to be able to play common left-hand chords on piano while learning material that makes them want to practice, I have been getting requests for something easier and more geared towards an absolute beginner... So, I created: Christmas Music for Beginning Piano! In this book, you will find two arrangements of each song, plus a simple lead-sheet (melody with chord symbols). Both arrangements split the melody between both hands, and nearly all of the songs are arranged so that the hands do not change position. The first arrangement of each piece is the melody only and has a diagram showing where to place the hands on the keyboard, while the second arrangement adds harmony, making the arrangement self-accompanying. Lyrics are not included in these arrangements, but the lead-sheet arrangement contains the first verse or chorus fitting the arrangement. I did it this way for two reasons:1. This is not a sing-along song book, but a book for beginning piano players looking for familiar music that they can play right away.2. I did not want the clutter of the lyrics on the piano arrangements. I lead-sheet arrangements with lyrics for convenience.
