Product Description
The arrangements in Christmas: Songs on the Black Keys are great for new beginner piano students who can read using finger numbers on the black keys, but aren't ready to make the jump to reading with all alpha notes. For example, songs like "O Christmas Tree" introduce the B and F keys, but keeps the rest of the fingers on the black keys.
Every song has an illustration of the hand position. Notes are color-coded by hand-- green for right hand and red for left hand. Illustrations of each hand are also included at the start of each song which is vital for those pre-school kids that still have trouble telling right from left. The result is a set of songs attractive and playable for beginners of all ages.
Lyrics included with most songs. Some songs contain religious content. Check my profile for the secular version.
