There's nothing quite like gathering around the piano at Christmas time to sing and play through the favourite carols, though amidst all the Christmas hurly-burly there's never much time to practise them. Realising this, Pauline Hall has produced Piano Time Carols - 19 really easy arrangements of the best-loved carols starting at around the level of Piano Time 1. They have been carefully simplified so that, instead of learning just one or two carols, you will find that you can play a wide selection, to the delight of your friends and family! The left-hand part is, with a single exception, in one position, and there are optional accompaniments to a number of carols for your teacher or a friend to play.

Away in a manger ; I saw three ships ; Kings of Orient ; In dulci jubilo
; Good King Wenceslas ; O come, all ye faithful ; While shepherds watched ;
Deck the hall ; The first Nowell ; Silent night ; Once in royal David's city
; God rest you merry, gentlemen ; In the bleak mid-winter ; The holly and the
ivy ; A merry Christmas ; Jingle bells ; Hark! the herald-angels sing ; Ding
dong! merrily on high ; O little town of Bethlehem
Pauline Hall graduated from the Royal Academy of Music and then taught in schools and privately. Whilst living and teaching in Harrogate she felt the need for a piano tutor which made learning fun, and which progressed at the pace of her slowest learner. She started by writing little tunes in pupils' notebooks, and these formed the basis of Tunes for Ten Fingers; the Piano Time series developed from this.
