It's an especially good collection for pianists who already have books of traditional Christmas carols and want something different to add to their holiday repertoire.

Intermediate Christmas Piano Duets

Hal Leonard rates Christmas Piano Duets at the intermediate piano level.

That makes the book a strong choice for advancing students and recreational pianists who are comfortable beyond beginning-level piano music and are ready to work on the additional skills involved in playing with another musician.

1 Piano, 4 Hands – Two Pianists, One Piano

These Christmas duets are arranged for one piano, four hands. Two pianists sit together at the same instrument, with each player performing a different part of the arrangement.

You do not need two pianos.

Four-hand piano music gives students an opportunity to develop important ensemble skills, including:

• Listening to another musician while performing
• Maintaining a consistent tempo together
• Coordinating entrances and endings
• Balancing melody and accompaniment
• Developing rhythmic accuracy
• Following another performer musically
• Learning how individual parts combine into a complete arrangement

Great for Christmas Piano Recitals

A four-hand duet can add instant variety to a Christmas piano recital. Instead of another student walking onstage for a traditional solo, two performers share the bench and make music together.

Christmas Piano Duets is a fun choice for:

• Christmas piano recitals
• Teacher and student duets
• Two piano students performing together
• Siblings who both play piano
• Friends and duet partners
• Holiday studio classes
• School Christmas performances
• Community holiday programs
• Christmas parties and family gatherings
• Playing Christmas music at home

A Fun Christmas Duet Collection for Piano Teachers

Piano teachers can use duet repertoire to develop ensemble skills while giving students something exciting to work toward during the holiday season.

A teacher can play one part while a student performs the other, or two students at similar levels can be paired together for a recital or studio class.

The familiar repertoire is another advantage. Students may already know songs like Jingle Bell Rock, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman and Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, giving them an immediate musical connection to the pieces they're learning.
