The Giant Book of Christmas Sheet Music

Good collection of Christmas music. Reasonably arranged but very easy and sound too simple. They serve the purpose for others to sing along with but not good enough as solo pieces. They would suit beginners (who can play scales and arpeggio reasonably well, can sight read and play entry level pieces by classic composers). I haven't played piano for 20 years, yet after 15 minutes of playing a few pieces out of this book I think they need to be improvised to sound better. I also don't think the arrangements for certain pieces (such as let it snow and santa claus coming to town) is quite right to give the jazzy feel. A slight shift in the beat has made a huge difference.All in all, a music sheet book for beginners.

Having had two now with exactly the same problem it would appear there is a manufacturing fault with these books. Pages 33 to 40 are badly bound and wrinkled in the book, which makes the book awkward to keep open at those pages. For this price I would expect a better quality.

The book has all the detailed contents it says it has and is certainly of very good quality. However, it was a bit too difficult musically for the families I bought it for. Even those who read music struggled a bit, despite their enjoyment of the book generally, so in terms of picking out the melodies and tunes it is definitely not for absolute beginners.

Love this book. Lovely simple arrangements but still have a full melodic sound.

Thought this too easy so returned it. Probably suit beginner Grade one
