Countdown to Christmas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798464422308)

**A MUST HAVE CHRISTMAS PIANO BOOK!**
For anyone who loves playing or singing along to classic Christmas carols, *Countdown to Christmas* is a delightful addition! This book includes 25 pieces-a mix of traditional carols, favorite holiday songs, and original solos-arranged in various engaging styles.

Each piece can stand alone as a piano solo, but lyrics are included so you can sing along, accompany others, or perform for family and friends. The book even provides access to backing tracks via QR codes, available in two different tempos to match your playing style.

Designed for elementary-level pianists (UK Grades 1-3), *Countdown to Christmas* is ideal for players of all ages, including those who may be a bit out of practice. Many pieces are in simple key signatures, making it accessible and fun for everyone preparing for the holiday season.

"Warmly recommended...includes some nicely pianistic writing...the overall feel of the arrangements is fresh and contemporary. In short, a great choice for those wanting easy (and sometimes impressively inventive) arrangements of their favourite carols."
Andrew Eales, Pianodao
