Title: Great for some Christmas Classics
Review: This book has been great to learn from. It has a lot of fun pieces in it like Away in a Manger, The First Noel, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, O Holy Night, Santa Baby, O Come All Ye Faithful and more! I would say they are definitely intermediate songs and and intermediate book all together. I got it when I was still new to piano and it was a little too advanced for me but It has been great leaning it after I got some more experience!

Title: Great holiday piano book
Review: Neat jazzy arrangements. Not hard enough that you have to practice a ton, but not too easy that it sounds too simple. Great to bring along to xmas parties. A good mix of pop songs.

Title: Fantastic arrangements for advanced pianists
Review: As my review title states, this book has fantastic arrangements for advanced pianists. I took piano lessons for 12 years and have been playing off and on for 25 years, and I even found some parts of these songs to be challenging the first time through. If you are a beginner then you will want to look at the Easy Piano version of this book instead.Again, the arrangements are exceptional. You'll find it won't matter what key the songs are in, because there are so many accidentals throughout that add so much character to the music. As other reviews state, the religious pieces are definitely easier, and this is where I deduct one star from the rating. I don't mind that they are easier to play, I just think that most of them are too short and to the point, and I would appreciate a bit more interpretation in these pieces. There are other books, such as Christmas Potpourri, that serve that purpose, though.I really enjoyed playing these songs this Christmas, so much so that I might just play them throughout the year anyway! Highly recommended for those who can play at this level!

Title: E-book smudgy; compositions seem good
Review: The Kindle/e-book format of this title is rather difficult to read. It should have been scanned at a higher resolution. I'm still on the fence regarding music on e-readers -- the Kindle is obviously too small to handle a full page of music, but even the iPad seems undersized, especially if the margins on the original paper version are kept in place.Readability aside, the music from this book is refreshingly challenging and fun to play -- and to hear. If the scans are updated to include better visibility, easily a 5-star book.

Title: great arrangements
Review: This is a very good Christmas book (not for beginners). Dan Coates is my favorite arranger. The book has all the favorite songs of Christmas. Would recommend to any player that is intermediate to advanced.

Title: Beautiful Music!
Review: I love this music book. As usual, Dan Coates comes through with great arrangements, and this book contains songs that are hard to find in piano solo books. I am enjoying this book and glad I purchased it!
