These first books of solos include favourite praise songs for the Christmas season. Melodies for the pieces are divided between the hands. All pieces include an optional duet part for parents or the teacher. If students are unfamiliar with the rhythmic notation, the rhythms can be quickly learned by rote. Students can begin to play Christmas praise favourites after only a few weeks of study.
