Christmas comes every year, so this book is handy to buy if you don't have one yet.
This book is a lead sheet, so we can explore different kinds of accompaniment, from very simple to more complex depending on our experience in playing the piano.
Here are some Christmas songs/ folk/pop songs; as well as some pieces from the method books.
Some songs are simply timeless and not only for beginners.
