Holiday Piano Sheet Music

Teachers keep coming back to the Alfred's Basic Piano Library Merry Christmas series by Willard A. Palmer, which spans levels 1A through 2 and forms the backbone of many holiday programs. Dan Coates's The Professional Pianist: Solos for Christmas serves advanced students with sophisticated arrangements. Carol Matz's Famous & Fun Pop Christmas, Book 3 brings contemporary holiday hits into the studio, while the Premier Piano Course Christmas 1B edition features work from multiple respected composers including Dennis Alexander, Martha Mier, Gayle Kowalchyk, and E. L. Lancaster.

Recent additions include Follow the Star by Kevin Costley and Easy Christmas Trios, Volume 2 by Tracey McKibben, both offering fresh material for early intermediate players. The Faber Music Winter Piano Anthology and We Wish You a Merry Mash-Up by Jennifer Linn add to the contemporary options available.

Carol Matz has arranged over 300 published titles for piano students and taught piano herself for years, presenting workshops across North America, Australia, and New Zealand. Her Famous & Fun series has become standard in many studios, known for pairing recognizable melodies with accessible arrangements that keep students engaged.

Dennis Alexander has published over 400 compositions with Alfred Music, earning him recognition as one of the most prolific composers of educational piano music across all levels. He taught piano pedagogy at the University of Montana for 24 years and brings that teaching expertise directly into his compositions.

Martha Mier is an internationally recognized composer whose educational music appears in studios worldwide. Her Jazz, Rags & Blues series and Romantic Impressions series have shaped how many students encounter musical style, and her Christmas arrangements carry the same pedagogical care and musical quality she's known for.
