I loved the idea of multiple levels, but I was disappointed to see all the notes in the level 2 had the letters in the right hand notes. The preview didn't clearly show that would be the style no matter how much I zoomed in. I would have preferred the letters to be only in the level 1 notes, or at least in less of the notes for level 2 (e.g. only notes that skip or the start of a phrase. They really are not necessary for notes stepping up or down at least). I would be hesitant to use it again next year with the same beginners I intended this for, unless they have skipped level 2 and progressed to level 3 by then.

These are the perfect books for a piano teacher! I can use these books on multiple levels and they all have teacher duet parts! I would like it even more if the 1st version had more notes in the left hand.

I just started using this book with my students today. It is handy having one book with multiple levels in it. I'm not sure I really like that every note is labeled, especially for the harder versions. But I like trying new things and giving my students new experiences. I think it will be good for all of us. **Editors note: The note names are not present on Version 3 of each carol and repeated notes are not re-labeled so students are still learning to *track* music appropriately on the staff.**
