I am a high school piano class teacher as well as a private piano teacher to many children- even my high schoolers have a lot of trouble with this book! There are too many awkward finger changes all over the place. I thought the left hand part would be mostly chords (I, IV, V, and V7)- not true at ALL!!! Hardly any chords at all in this book. I ended up writing out all my own Christmas songs for my high school class.
