By various composers and arrangers

Piano/Vocal/Guitar Book & DVD-ROM

This book best replaces the classic and well-loved "Reader's Digest Merry Christmas Songbook"

The holidays are a time of simple togetherness with family and friends, and nothing brings people closer than singing songs with loved ones. To help elevate your celebrations, The Christmas Family Songbook is a beautiful hardcover keepsake edition that features over 100 of the most popular Christmas songs, all arranged to be easily playable at the family piano. Also included is a genre index that organizes songs into sections. A multimedia disc within (in DVD-ROM format) has MP3s demonstrating the piano parts, and to further inspire your own sing-alongs, easy-to-print lyric sheets to all the tunes are provided. For the musician seeking a challenge, the disc also features six intermediate to advanced solo and duet piano pieces in PDF format. Lastly, Alfred Music's exclusive TNT 2 software is also provided, allowing you to slow down the demonstration audio, loop sections, and change keys for practice. This Christmas season, give the best gift of all---the gift of music!
