Have you noticed that it can be tricky to find easy Christmas arrangements for piano students? I personally get a bit bored teaching the same method book arrangements over and over so I’m always looking for more options to share with my beginners.

Beginning Christmas songs can be somewhat limiting. There are only so many Christmas songs that fall within the range of notes and the with skillset that beginners can manage.

I have some options right here on Very Piano, plus I’ve scoured both Sheet Music Plus and Musicnotes.com to find all of their best easy Christmas arrangements that are geared towards beginning or late beginning piano students.

I’ve done all the work for you, so follow the links below to find some wonderful learning pieces for your piano students this holiday season.

Middle C Success – Christmas Edition

This reproducible Christmas ebook should be a staple in your studio for beginners. I created it to give my own beginning piano students more options for Christmas songs. Each song is in Middle C position and it also includes fun play-along audio files for each song. You can buy it once and print it as many times as you need for your students.

From musicnotes.com

I had an opportunity to work with musicnotes.com to create a customized collection: The Best Christmas Songs for Beginner Piano.

When I created this collection, I was specifically looking for music that would suit students in their first or second year of piano lessons. This collection is a fun mix of favorite traditional and popular Christmas tunes that your students will recognize.

These songs are all written in or around C or Middle C position and fit well under small hands. They use simple rhythms and are easy for young beginning pianos students to work with.

This collection is comprised of all digital downloads. It’s the best deal to buy the complete collection, but you could also buy individual pieces if you prefer.

From Sheet Music Plus

I’m also honored to partner with Sheet Music Plus to help piano teachers find the best teaching music in their huge collection of digital and print sheet music.

You can always find my top picks for piano teachers in this scrolling carousel on their home page. Just scroll down a bit and you’ll see Very Piano Picks!

My top choices from Sheet Music Plus are well-written, pedagogical Christmas songs that your later beginners will enjoy learning and playing. These pieces are still easy, but they assume your students are a little more established with reading notation. They use a slightly larger range of notes and some include octave intervals that require a bigger hand.

Here are my top Christmas sheet music picks for piano teachers this season:
