Get Set! Piano Christmas Crackers by Karen Marshall
This book contains over 30 carols for the beginner pianist, featuring a range of techniques and quizzes to support musical development from the very first lessons to Grade 2.
Full of festive favourites such as Jingle bells, Silent night and Deck the halls, with a few lesser known carols included for good measure, many of the pieces have simple but effective teacher duet parts to encourage ensemble playing from the start. The book is illustrated throughout in the charming Get Set! style, and students are encouraged to decorate and colour in the drawings to reflect their progress.
Packed with fantastic, tried-and-tested arrangements and a variety of fun activities to reinforce learning, this is the ultimate beginner piano Christmas book!
Expertly put together by award-winning authors, pieces include:
Good King Wenceslas
Jolly old Saint Nicholas
O come, all ye faithful
Up on the housetop
Jingle, bells
Away in a manger
Infant holy, Infant lowly
Under Bethlhems star so bright
The holly and the ivy
The first Nowell
O little town of Bethlehem
We wish you a Merry Christmas
Once in royal Davids city
Hark! the herald angels sing
Silent night
Deck the hall
The Virgin Mary had a baby boy
Ding dong! merrily on high
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Huron carol
Patapan
Gabriels message
Cantemos a Maria
While shepherds watched their flocks
Mary rocked her baby!
I saw three ships
Y Gelynnen (The holly)
We three kings of Orient are
Go, tell it on the mountain
