Key of C for everything

Great Book! I did notice that a handful of songs were out of order in the table of contents. But overall it seems to be a pretty good book with all the songs in the key of C. Notation is good and easy to follow

Wonderful music book

I love this book. I can't play very well, still and old person learning new things, but I can play with the right hand most of the songs in this book. I just love Christmas music, and I will sit for an hour, several times a day and play a few tunes out of this book. I find it easier to try to play a tune I have heard before so this book is great. I am just learning to use the left hand with cords, so still taking time. but I know most of the cords used in this book, and it is really helpful.

Ok for playing, not so good for singing

Quality of the book was good and all of the songs are in the key of C so easy to play. Unfortunately, because of this, they become almost impossible for the average person to sing as they are either way too high or way too low. Does not contain many songs I consider Christmas classics i.e. The First Noel; God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen; It Came upon a Midnight clear, etc.

Not what I expected

Three quarters of this Christmas book contains songs that I have never heard of. There is no Christmas Carole Hymns i.e. Silent Night, Oh Come all Ye Faithful Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Oh Holy Night, The First Noel and any other time old songs that carolers would sing. Really disappointing.

Don't know the songs

I'm just learning to play the piano, and I'm sure this book is fine, but I wish I had looked a little closer at the contents. I'm not familiar with most of the songs in this book. I can always listen to them somewhere online and see if I'm interested in learning any of those. I may wind up loving all of them. I did cut the book apart with a razor knife and trim the pages with a rotary cutter, so they would fit in plastic sleeves, and put everything in a 3 ring binder. They stick out the top by an inch, but it stays open. I'm still mostly satisfied with my purchase.

Not appropriate for beginners on stringed instruments!

I was looking for a book to play my Ukuleles. This one is so strung out, maybe okay for piano, but incredibly complicated for strings or beginners. NOT APPROPRIATE FOR STRING-INSTRUMENTS. Again, maybe a Piano, but not beginners on stringed instruments!

THE EASY CHRISTMAS SING FAKE BOOK

This item was also an excellent purchase. It would be nice to cut down on my time and yours if you have reviews on more than one purchase.

THANK YOU
