About the Book
A Christmas Collection is now available as an instant digital download! If you prefer adding your music to an iPad or tablet, this PDF version allows you to download the music directly to your device and import into any PDF music reader app.
This book includes seven favorite Christmas hymns for advanced solo piano. Many of these arrangements are easier than others, sitting more at about the late intermediate level, while a few of them are more difficult and are good for advanced pianists looking for a more complicated piece that will challenge them. These harder songs would be great to give to advanced students! Church pianists may find these songs well suited to be used as preludes, postludes, or offertories during Advent or Christmas services.
Background Tracks (Not Included with Purchase)
To add some extra excitement to the piece, we offer a background track for "The Birthday of A King Medley", which can be purchased separately: Background Track for "The Birthday of A King Medley"

Notes on Technicality
- Right Hand: The stretches in the harder songs from this book are a bit more difficult than some, but the easier songs typically don't exceed an eighth. Being advanced, there are many rolls and arpeggios, and some grace notes and trills in the right hand throughout the book. Small sections are written in the bass clef for ease of readability.
- Left Hand: The left hand in this book provides a good challenge for advanced students and church pianists. There are large jumps in hand position, tremolos, glissandos, and even some fast arpeggios. Some measures are written in treble clef.
- Miscellaneous: Some of the arpeggios could be simplified or avoided if necessary. 8va and 15ma are used throughout the book. Little to no fingering is included in the sheet music due to the level.
