Christmas Encores Book 1 by Melody BoberĬhristmas Encores Book 1 by Melody Bober is one of my favorite books to play through just for fun. You can find it on Amazon or Sheet Music Plus.

Here are 10 intermediate to advanced piano solo collections that have become staples in my studio.Ī Christmas Fantasy by Dennis Alexander has some really lovely arrangements in it.
