Carol Arrangements for the Piano
DENNIS ALEXANDER
Foreword
This collection of arrangements is sure to be enjoyed by both teachers and their intermediate to
advanced piano students. It contains a variety of performance styles which will appeal to the
tastes of every student. Energetic, tender, lyrical, jazzy, robust—all of these moods permeate the
music of this collection of Christmas favorites!
I trust that both teachers and students will enjoy sharing them with friends and family this
Christmas season and for many years to come. Merry Christmas and best wishes for peace and
happiness! Soe
