Customer Reviews:
“Warmly recommended…includes some nicely pianistic writing…the overall feel of the arrangements is fresh and contemporary. In short, a great choice for those wanting easy (and sometimes impressively inventive) arrangements of their favourite carols.”
Andrew Eales, Pianodao
“A lovely traditional selection but with a modern twist...perfect! Love the fact you can access the backing tracks too. I know my pupils will love this.”
“Clever arrangements, making well known tunes easily accessible for the young and older pianist. A great buy!”
“This is a super book of Christmas pieces. The arrangements are interesting but still manageable, and the original compositions are beautiful and make fantastic additions to the collection“
