More Christmas Favorites is a collection of five well-known Christmas songs and carols arranged for students playing five-finger patterns. Each song has an easy accompaniment with chords. The student part contains the melody so the accompaniments are optional. Fingering is carefully marked in both the student and accompaniment parts. The student part in this book is easy enough for a first year student if you teach some eighth notes and dotted rhythms by rote. Hands stay in middle C position for most of the carols. One song has some easy and fun crossovers with the left hand.
The holidays are a perfect time to encourage families and friends to make music together! The optional accompaniments include chords to encourage Dad or Mom to play along on a guitar or ukulele or even to play chords on the piano. The piano accompaniment is easy, so that a sibling, friend, or relative who has had a few years of piano can play along. Parents and siblings often have trouble reading two hands on one staff in the way they are usually written in method books. However, the accompaniments in More Christmas Favorites are written on the treble and bass staves (with fingering!) to make it easier for parents and late elementary siblings to play along. The book also includes a certificate, a song check-off list, and a table of contents. If your printer prints on both sides, start with the table of contents and the pages should open correctly. I suggest you use at least 24# paper for both side printing. Please note that this is a digital file and does not include a physical product.Â
Songs include:
- Away in a Manger
- Deck the Halls
- We Wish You a Merry Christmas
- O Christmas Tree
- Silent Night

Mary Tunnell –
I love using this Christmas book with my young students. The duet parts are well written and accessible for other students, parents or siblings.
Lisa from Arizona –
I love everything Susan creates! This book doesn’t disappoint either. My favorite part of this book is that the duets are written using the grand staff so siblings can easily play, too.
