Ten Christmas Carols Arranged for Beginner Piano is a fun way to further develop your piano skills by learning a series of carefully graded traditional Christmas carols and comes with a downloadable PDF containing all the music you need.
Each carol is purposely arranged by experienced piano instructor Carl Eden to not only give you hours of fascinating fun but also to teach you specific techniques and interpretation skills.
Although it's possible to play these carols in any order you like or just play your favourites, they are presented here in order of difficulty starting with the simplest first so you may like to work through the course sequentially in order to get the most out of it.
For best results you should already have basic knowledge of music notation (know where notes are on the treble and bass staves and be able to read simple rhythms) and should ideally have already completed a suitable piano primer course such as Carl's An Accelerated Piano Course for Beginners.
