I played piano for 9 years when I was a kid and I have recently started getting back into it. This book has pretty arrangements that arent too hard for me. The songs in this book are:Silent NightO Little Town of BethlehemO Come. O Come. EmmanuelI Saw Three ShipsStill. Still. Still. Up on the HousetopIt Came Upon the Midnight ClearThe Frist NoelWe Wish You a Merry ChristmasIf you are an excellent piano player. this book will be too easy for you. But if you are intermediate. I think it is a great choice.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Nice bookBy Whitney CahoonThis is a nice book of piano arrangements for Christmas time. The arrangements are a little long and some of the key changes in the songs are abrupt and feel out of place. But it works great as background music. Wouldnt really use the arrangements as solo performance material.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy BonBonBought as requested gift.
