Trade Review“…this is a Christmas book with a real difference, including so much more than just the same seasonal classics… The standout feature of so many of these arrangements is that they combine an astute awareness of what really works on the piano, with a solid pedagogic foundation… the pieces are fun to play, sound great, and are educational at the same time… It’s this level of care and planning which elevates Get Set! Piano Christmas Crackers above so many competing books…. In short, the book is chock-full of great ideas, creative approaches, and fun suggestions – all given an engaging and often amusing festive twist.” ~ Andrew Eales (pianist, teacher and writer), Pianodao
“I have a few treasured and very dog-eared Christmas music books for myself and my pupils. This bumper offering – over 30 carols for the beginner to Grade 2 level pianist – is about to join that collection.” ~ Fiona Lau, Music Teacher Magazine
“Each carol is preceded by suggestions for learning activities associated with the pieces, and there are plentiful quizzes, tips, games, facts and other suggestions too. The early pieces have effective duet accompaniments making the book accessible to players in the very early stages of learning. Another cracker (excuse the pun) from David and Karen.” ~ David Barton (pianist and educator)
