Loads of Carols and Christmas Songs to Download
It’s that time of year again, and Christmas carols are so great to use with music students. They are a whole group of tunes that are already familiar and, most of the time, people of all ages love playing them.
They are also fantastic for teaching people to harmonise. Consequently I have a large amount that I have arranged for this purpose. They are clear to read, mostly with the tune line notated and the chords written above. They are in many different keys, which comes from teaching different instruments. What’s easiest for beginner piano or ukulele is not the easiest for guitar or violin.
Here are links to PDFs of them all, hope they prove useful!
Please feel free to request any others, or different keys.
