20 Really Easy Christmas Carols for Viola is a collection of your favourite carols arranged simply in the easiest keys and range for early stage players.

We all know that tricky period when beginner Viola players have mastered basic technique and can play a range of around an octave and a half. At this point, I find lots of simple material is ideal to consolidate early successes. Playing simple Christmas carols is usually a big motivation to students. Now, with this collection of carols, students can join in with Christmas music-making and develop those reading skills at the same time.

These 20 carols are arranged in easy keys, going no lower than G at the bottom of the Alto Clef

The carols are in alphabetical order and are as follows;

·     Away in a Manger

·     Deck the Halls

·     Ding Dong Merrily on High

·     The First Nowell

·     God Rest ye Merry Gentleman

·     Good Christian Men Rejoice

·     Good King Wenceslas

·     Hark, the Herald Angels Sing

·     The Holly and the Ivy

·     I Saw Three Ships

·     In the Bleak Midwinter

·     It Came upon a Midnight Clear

·     O Cone All Ye Faithful

·     O Come, O Come Emmanuel

·     O Little Town of Bethlehem

·     Once in Royal David’s City

·     Silent Night

·     We Three Kings

·     While Shepherds Watched

·     We Wish you a Merry Christmas
