Customer questions & answers
Question:
How do I utilize the three levels of each song?
Answer:
Multi-level songbooks are an excellent way for students to learn pieces via "scaffolding." These books are intended to be collections that students can grow with over a longer period of time. The base version (Version 1) correlates to Piano Pronto: Keyboard Kickoff, Version 2 correlates to Piano Pronto: Prelude, and Version 3 correlates with Piano Pronto: Movement 1. For motivated students you can have them learn one, two, or all three versions in succession, or have them work through a particular version (i.e. Version 1) of all the pieces and then circle back to learn the harder versions.
Question:
May I know the play-along track is with melody or without melody?
Answer:
As per the product description for the Holiday Classics: Super Soundtrack: Includes orchestrated backing tracks with and without the student parts as well as recordings with the teacher duet part. Mp3 and MIDI files included with purchase.
On the website we always preview the play-along tracks WITH the student part so you can hear the finished product, but the Super Soundtracks have it both ways (with and without the student part).
Customer reviews
Amanda
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.

Holiday Classics is my go-to book for beginners. Students who started in September can play the simplest versions. The arrangements fit nicely under the fingers, and sound amazing, and students love to “graduate” to the next levels!
Alexa
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.
Susan
Such a great value with 3 versions of each! They are perfectly leveled to match the progression of Keyboard Kickoff and Prelude, and will last students through at least two Christmas seasons!
Diane
This is my go-to book to give students who started in September, especially sibling groups! The multi-level format is ingenious! Every student I've given it to loves it.
