What Makes Christmas Songs with 3 Chords So Easy?

Each arrangement includes:

• Simple right-hand melodies
• Letter names printed inside each note
• Basic left-hand chord diagrams
• Only three chords per song

Christmas Piano Music with Letter Names in the Notes

Still learning to read music? This book gives you some extra help.

Letter names are printed inside the notes, making it easier to identify the right-hand melody notes on the keyboard.

This feature can be especially helpful for beginning pianists, recreational players and adults returning to piano after many years away from the instrument.

Learn Christmas Songs with Just 3 Chords

You don't need dozens of complicated chords to make recognizable Christmas music.

The arrangements in Christmas Songs with 3 Chords simplify the harmony so that each selection can be played using only three chords.

Basic left-hand chord diagrams show players the chords they need, while the right hand plays the familiar melody.

It's a simple formula that lets newer players experience the satisfaction of playing with both hands without jumping immediately into more complicated piano arrangements.

No Page Turns!

Here's a small feature that makes a surprisingly big difference for beginners: there are no page turns.

You won't reach the middle of Jingle Bells or Silent Night and suddenly have to stop playing to flip the page.

That lets you focus on keeping the music going from beginning to end.
