Christmas Sheet Music for Your Instrument

Christmas Classics is published in separate editions for a variety of popular band and orchestra instruments. Each book contains music written specifically for the instrument shown on the cover.

The series includes editions for instruments such as:

• Flute
• Clarinet
• Alto Saxophone
• Tenor Saxophone
• Trumpet
• French Horn
• Trombone

Includes Online Demonstration & Backing Tracks

This isn't just a book of Christmas melodies.

Your Christmas Classics book includes access to online demonstration and accompaniment tracks. Play along with the backing tracks during practice or use them to add accompaniment to a holiday performance.

The interactive audio makes the collection particularly useful for students because musicians can:

• Listen to demonstrations of the music
• Practice with backing tracks

• Loop challenging sections for repeated practice
• Practice independently with accompaniment

It's a fun way to make solo practice feel more like playing with an ensemble.

15 Traditional Christmas Carols in One Collection

Christmas Classics focuses on traditional holiday repertoire rather than contemporary Christmas pop songs.

That means musicians get some of the most enduring sacred and traditional Christmas melodies in a single collection—from the soaring melody of O Holy Night and peaceful Silent Night to the excitement of Angels We Have Heard on High and familiar fun of Jingle Bells.

The collection also goes beyond the most obvious carols with favorites such as Fum, Fum, Fum, Still, Still, Still, Coventry Carol, The Holly and the Ivy and Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella.

Great Christmas Music for Developing Instrumentalists

For students who have spent the year working through method books and exercises, Christmas provides a chance to play music they recognize and can share with family and friends.

Christmas Classics gives developing musicians a collection they can enjoy during lessons while also providing music suitable for informal holiday performances.

It's a great choice for:

• Band and orchestra students
• Private music lessons
• Christmas recitals
• Holiday school performances
• Church Christmas programs
• Family Christmas gatherings
• Community holiday events
• At-home Christmas performances
• Independent practice with backing tracks
• Musicians looking for traditional Christmas repertoire

Perfect for Christmas Lessons & Recitals

Teachers can use Christmas Classics as a seasonal break from regular lesson material while continuing to reinforce important musical skills.

Because the collection includes recognizable melodies, students can concentrate on producing a beautiful tone, playing accurate rhythms, shaping phrases and performing musically.

The included online audio adds another dimension to practice by helping students develop stronger timing and learn to stay together with an accompaniment.

Play O Holy Night, Silent Night & More

The song selection makes this book useful for both sacred and secular holiday settings.

Perform reverent Christmas favorites such as O Holy Night, Silent Night, What Child Is This?, O Come, All Ye Faithful and Go, Tell It on the Mountain, or add lighter traditional favorites such as Jingle Bells, I Saw Three Ships and Here We Come A-Caroling.

With 15 selections, there's plenty of music for an entire Christmas season of lessons and performances.
