Why so many different arrangements and levels in one collection?
The selections included here come entirely from my direct experience teaching the violin for over 20 years. I found that I always needed a diversity of materials to make my holiday performances inclusive for all of the various levels in my studio. Furthermore, having this variety lends itself to creating an engaging performance because of the many different ways to present these pieces. I always like to feature my youngest performers in smaller sets with pieces like Ode to Joy and Dreidel Song.
Don't have a group to play with? No worries, these timeless melodies are available as solos and stand beautifully by themselves.
