Really Easy Christmas Collection (20 carols and hymns for solo piano) by Various Easy Piano - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.522231

Here’s a bright and attractive collection of twenty traditional Christmas songs and carols 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.

Elementary pianists rarely have the opportunity of playing in an ensemble. The main feature of Colin Kirkpatrick’s Really Easy Christmas Collection is that it’s fully compatible with the Optional Instrumental Pack, a set of instrumental parts transposed for a selection of popular instruments. It is available here: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/21394520 While the Optional Instrumental Pack is primarily intended to play along with the piano, the arrangements use flexible instrumentation and can be used entirely on their own without the keyboard part, thus giving you extra flexibility.
