Christmas for Ten Fingers is a colourful festive companion to the enduringly popular Ten Fingers series for beginner pianists. The collection comprises easy arrangements of well-known Christmas carols and songs in the five-finger position, with handy keyboard diagrams and fingerings to help early learners. Each piece is presented with a fun and supportive accompaniment part that can be played at the same keyboard as a duet, and a selection of tunes are offered in an alternative key (up to one sharp or flat) for those looking for an extra challenge. Beautifully presented with full-colour illustrations, the collection also includes lyrics to encourage singing along. Ideal for playing together in lessons, sightreading, and seasonal concerts, Christmas for Ten Fingers is the perfect festive gift for any aspiring pianist!

Performance and backing tracks are available on major streaming platforms or to download from a companion website.
