PLAY A SONG OF CHRISTMAS by Ruth Zimmerman Theodore Presser Company
* Very affordable music, 21 pages paperback. 36 Christmas song, however, I have used some for church programs that were not Christmas. The only drawback is there are many written in flats. Therefore it is a bit more difficult for the very young ones. One really nice feature is this is available for ALL instruments. I have included clarinet and others before. Violin parts are A and B all first position.
VIOLIN ALL TIME CHRISTMAS FAVORITES Columbia Christmas Vol.19 editor Carol Cuellar Columbia Pictures Publications
* 24 selections, pieces are in 2 part violin harmony, includes many lesser found, yet well liked, Christmas songs - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Holly Jolly Christmas, I'll be Home for Christmas, Rockin Round the Christms tree,Holly Jolly Christmas and others. Intermediate level.
THE CHRISTMAS COLLECTION by Robert Dupre Pro Art publications
* This is scored for 4 violins. It is 16 pages of traditional carols. All first position easy rhythms and notes.
CHRISTMAS KALEIDOSCOPE Books 1 and 2 by Robert Frost Neil Kjos Music Company
* Book 1 is easy to intermediate but I use for all levels, Book 2 has harder keys in it but not too difficult. A piano accompaniment can be purchased and also parts for other string instruments(also in 3 part). The book has a sturdy cover and can be used for years. I use this book a lot.
