Title: Outstanding collection for advanced beginners
Review: This is a truly outstanding collection of advanced beginner Christmas songs with something for everyone melody wise. "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" is one page that took me a week to master. There are others such as "O Holy Night" that are longer and take a bit more practice - lots of arpeggios. I had five years of Suzuki piano lessons as a kid but hadn't played the piano in decades until a year ago. This book is just perfect for my abilities and is something I can play from indefinitely with practice. That's the key - they are not super easy but are enough of a challenge that I haven't gotten bored yet. Comments regarding binding? - I just press the pages and spine and the book stays on my electric keyboard stand just fine for current songs. Those that require a page turn I'm not playing yet? - I will likely be regretting not getting the whole thing comb bound. (Update: I contacted Staples and they said the page margins are too narrow to accommodate comb binding.) Regardless, I'm thrilled with the book.

Title: Really nice arrangements for late beginner through intermediate
Review: And as many people have noted, levels can be confusing. What is always helpful to me are the grade guidelines that Sheet Music Plus provides. They note that "Easy Piano" is usually not beginner, but rather intermediate. Looking at some of the music in the previews of this book was also very helpful. I'm an adult returner and I can stumble through sight-reading both hands for most of these, but each will take some practice to be "performance ready".That said, I find Dan Coates's arrangements really enjoyable to play. The musicality of them really appeals to me. I don't get tired of playing them.And the book stays open--always a plus.

Title: Easy Christmas music
Review: It had a large verity of Christmas music and easy enough to play that you donât get frustrated with the difficulty.The only thing that would make it better would be a ring binder so it would stay open.

Title: Beautiful arrangements . . . Dan Coates never fails!
Review: I bought this for my talented 9 month piano student. While it states âEasy Piano,â it actually is more suited for a 2nd or 3rd year student. The arrangements are beautiful and uses gorgeous emotive chords; Dan Coatesâ arrangements never fail. I even used the O Come, All Ye Faithful and Silent Night arrangements at the Christmas Eve Mass, with my student on the piano and me on the organ.

Title: True intermediate book!
Review: I am a music teacher who is mediocre at piano. I can read music and count rhythms, but I donât have the skill and coordination to sightread complex piano parts. I LOVE this book. The arrangements donât sound childish, but theyâre simple enough that with a little practice I can play everything in this book.This book is not for beginners, but for a true intermediate player (or former player who wants to dust off the piano at Christmas) this book is amazing!

Review: Buen repertorio, el nivel de ejecución va de fácil a intermedio, pero no es para principiantes. Para mis alumnos, como referencia, es equivalente a Suzuki 2. Bastante variado,clásicos , populares y algunos temas no tan conocidos. Para maestros de piano o escuela lo recomiendo como parte de su arsenal.

Review: I am a 67 year old who has explored piano playing for years after a few lessons early on. This is an excellent music book with a great mix of traditional and popular carols. Arranged for early intermediate players, the songs are easily learned at that level. Arrangements are complex enough to be pleasing to the ear. For the accomplished player these arrangements would likely be too easy, but pleasing nonetheless. As an intermediate player this book is perfect for me!

Review: Das Buch ist sehr gut für Klavierspielen im zweiten Jahr gedacht. Die Noten sind nicht zu einfach gesetzt und eignen sich hervorragend für Fortgeschrittene. Wer nur Weihnachtslieder runter spielen will, sollte zu einem anderen Bich greifen. Aus meiner Sicht sollte man an Weihnachtsliedern nicht zu viel üben müssen. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es für die Titelauswahl, diese ist leider durchschnittlich.
