Select a Christmas carol from the list below for arrangements written specifically for the piano. There are currently three versions of each carol for beginner to more advanced pianists (more versions coming soon!). The higher the version number, the more challenging and intricate the arrangement is, so hopefully, there will be at least one version suitable for everyone who is looking for Christmas music for piano. Below the list of carols is an explanation of each of the versions and their level of difficulty.
If you are looking for piano parts to play along with other instrumentalists and singers, visit the Christmas song piano accompaniment page.
Version 1: The Beginner versions feature the melody in one staff (treble clef), to be played with one hand. No key signatures — accidentals are used instead.
Version 2: The Easy versions feature only the melody, split between between both hands, in grand staff format (treble and bass clef). No key signatures — accidentals are used instead.
Version 3: The Simple versions have the melody in the right hand, with a basic accompaniment in the left hand, playing only one note at a time. Key signatures are used for this version and the following versions.
Version 4: The Intermediate versions include the melody in the right hand, with a slightly more complicated left hand accompaniment and some harmonies.
Version 5: The Advanced versions include the melody in the right hand, with chords and moving lines in the left hand.
For more information, lead sheets with chords, and versions of each carol in different keys, visit the home page for a table of contents for all of the carols. Each lead sheet page includes links to the carol for wind, brass, and string instruments, as well as soprano and alto recorder. You can also view and print the lyrics to each carol.
