Solid Transcriptions, Adapt for Voice
This collection offers precise, note-for-note piano transcriptions of Guaraldi's 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.' As a collaborative pianist, it's important to note these are solo piano arrangements, meaning the melody is often embedded. While the rich harmonies are great, you'll need to adapt the piano texture to effectively support a vocalist without excessive doubling. Intermediate to advanced skill is required.

Authentic but Solo-Focused
These are precise, note-for-note solo piano transcriptions of Guaraldi's iconic 'Charlie Brown Christmas' tracks. While authentic for a faithful reproduction, be aware there are no explicit chord symbols for improvisation on the fly. Great for prepared performances at events, but less flexible than a lead sheet. Good for those who can handle intermediate to advanced piano scores.

True to the Original Show Soundtrack
These are a bit tricky and fun because they’re directly transcribed from the movie soundtrack. Most of the songs seem to eventually turn into what feels like a 10-minute noodly improvisation session and I’m no jazz expert so I just find a good stopping point that sounds like a natural ending and quit while I’m ahead. I love being able to play the real version of Linus and Lucy and not a watered down version that misses out on the funnest parts!
