it can serve as a study for piano students, the known melody helps to perform the variations studying, but at the same time improve their performance. Excelent set of variations, which I enjoyed very much! Extraordinary arrangement! by Dona Jacobs on July 2022Very nice arrangement of Silent Night. Christmas can't come fast enough!

Perfect for my beginning adult student by Ruth Rehm on November 2018Sorry, clicked the send button before I was ready. I was delighted to find the Christmas Carol Collection for beginners to give to my adult student. It is perfect for where she is in her playing ability. Thank you for making this available.
Finally found some beautiful Christmas arrangements by Myrtice e leach on December 2017I love the Christmas Variations Advanced. Christmas Carols for piano. I started playing the piano in my mid thirties. I had no instructions growing up and I am not like some of you who have an ear for music. I am basicly self taught with a couple of years of lessons. I have found playing arrangements helps me to make other music like hymns sound much better. Thank you
Beautiful arrangement, tough to play by May Shamp * VSM MEMBER * on September 2015I use pieces of this to teach my son complicated fingering. This set is very, very hard, but it sounds like a million bucks! Mr. Ferrari has done an incredible job creating this arrangement. I cut the songs into pieces and my son does a piece at a time. A piece consists of 3 or 4 lines. It takes him 3 months to go through these three lines, or a 4 page medium level song! They sound incredibly cool. Particularly Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. If you got to a piano performance and say that you are playing Twinkle, people will probably grin. Then you start blasting this thing and knock their socks off! It is a very cool music to play. In general, I have enjoyed many of Mr. Ferrari's compositions. he always makes it sound totally impressive.
 Nice enough by Peter on October 2014The arrangements are nice enough. I particularly enjoyed Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring and What Child is This.
However, some of the arrangements have achieved the complexity a bit cheaply. In particular, in some pieces the right hand is just playing the chord underneath the melody without fleshing out a separate harmony. For an example of what I mean, compare Jingle Bells with Oh Come All Ye Faithful. Sometimes the complexity even (in my opinion) interferes with the tone of the piece itself, such as in Silent Night's middle section where the left hand goes on arpeggio steroids. This doesn't happen in all pieces, and many are interesting, but it happened enough for me to notice it while going through the pieces. In accordance with the guidelines, I've been playing piano for around 18 or 19 years now; have a number of exams under my belt, so fairly proficient. Despite this, overall, the collection is nice enough to warrant the purchase.  Christmas Variations by Michael on December 2011Some nice variations of several Christmas songs, both Christian and popular. Definitely on the high end of advanced level of difficulty on many of the pieces.
