I bought this book for one of my students... but I told her I was ordering a copy for myself too because I just loved playing from hers so much while waiting for her to arrive!

Christmas on ice! Jennifer's arrangements are like candy for the fingers which makes them easier play and learn. I was brought back to the piano by these beautiful pieces, each of which is a prayer. Don't miss these!

I work for a church and have played almost the entire book at one service or another during the Christmas season. Everyone loves the arrangements! A great book to purchase because you can use all the songs, rather than just a few.

Along with Volume 2, this is my all time favorite Christmas book to use with students. Every piece is a sure winner!

I have often told students that many times I have bought an entire book just for one or two pieces that I like. Every single arrangement in here will be used! Some of them are easier than others which is good. The book is an excellent investment for any musician's library. I haven't decided if I can go directly to this book from the "Christmas Solos for Late Beginners," but since the first few in the book seem easier I may give that a try.

This has become my 'go to' collection for my intermediate students. The arrangements are beautiful, and my students are enjoying them immensely. They are excited to have multiple levels in one book as well. From Silent Night to We Three Kings, each piece is a winner.

These arrangements are just beautiful! They are accessible while still maintaining the integrity of the piece, and they are a joy to play. Well Done!

Review of Christmas books – I loved using these songs last year as I played for 2 different venues – background Christmas music – they flow so nicely and the melody ALWAYS comes through. Way to go Jennifer Eklund on producing these wonderful Christmas hymns and carols in this wonderful style.

I am planning my first Christmas recital. To my early intermediate students, I recommend “Silent night”, “What Child Is”, “Angels We Have Heard on High”, “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”; for the intermediate students – “Joy the World”, “O Little Town Bethlehem”, “Medley: Gesu Bambino”. There are the children’ most favorite “The First Noel”, “We Three Kings”, “Carol of Bells”, “Medley:Jolly St. Nicholas”.
The arrangement of lyrics are for everybody Christmas tastes.
Thanks. It was so delightful to listen.
Thanks to Joy to announce it.

This book has wonderful arrangements that students will love. My teens love Jennifer’s music. This book is no exception. It will be great for the yearly studio Christmas Recital.

I just finished playing through the Gesu Bambino medley, and I am madly in love with it! It’s satisfying and beautiful and brings out the spirit of the piece without overwhelming the melody. “Jeanette Isabella” is one of my favorite carols, and I am super picky about arrangements and medleys that include it, and I LOVE this one! Thank you!

This is a wonderful book! Very nice for sight reading because it is very chord based. Great for intermediate students as well as to keep on your shelf and play for your own enjoyment. Lovely arrangements!!
