About the book
This German Christmas songbook with 30 traditional carols for piano is a musical and educational resource designed to bring German Christmas music to schools, teachers, families and music lovers. The book brings together a careful selection of traditional German Christmas carols, arranged to make them easy to play on the piano and to accompany with guitar chords.
It is designed both for use in education and for enjoying music during Advent and Christmas, combining musical rigour, clear notation and a very practical approach.
Traditional German carols adapted for the classroom and the home
This songbook includes 30 traditional German carols, widely known in Germany’s Christmas music culture. The songs have been chosen for their cultural value, their suitability for education and how easy they are to play, which makes them an ideal resource for working on music and the German language together.
Each carol presents the main melody in clear notation, so it can be played by children, teachers or amateur musicians without needing advanced music-reading skills.
Piano scores with fingering included
The piano scores in this songbook are designed to support progressive learning. The fingering marked on the melody helps place the fingers correctly and makes playing more secure and fluent, especially in education.
This approach makes the book especially useful for:
-
Primary and secondary music lessons
-
German teachers who use music as a teaching resource
-
Pupils starting out on the piano
-
Christmas music activities at school
Guitar chords for accompaniment
As well as the piano scores, the songbook includes guitar chords, so the songs can easily be accompanied on this instrument. This encourages group music-making, singing together and cooperative activities.
The combination of piano and guitar makes this book a very versatile resource, suitable for the classroom and for the family, school concerts, Christmas celebrations or music workshops.

Teaching approach and practical use
This songbook has been conceived as practical teaching material, easy to use in a teacher’s day-to-day work. The scores have a clear, tidy layout, designed to be easy to read and to use throughout the Christmas season.
