Easy Christmas piano pieces
Carols and Christmas music to read at the keyboard this season, from Silent Night and Deck the Halls at level 2 to the Sugar Plum Fairy from The Nutcracker at level 5. Each piece has easier versions made from the score itself (the right-hand melody alone, then with left-hand roots), so you can print the version that fits your reading now and play it as written later.

Level 2
A tune over a simple left hand, mostly in one hand position. Minuets, carols, Ode to Joy, Czerny's first studies.
Level 3
Both hands busy, the hand moves around, a sharp or flat or two. Most of the Notebook minuets, sonatinas, The Entertainer.
Level 5
The edge of early intermediate: dense textures, fast passages and far keys. The Moonlight Sonata, Maple Leaf Rag, Solfeggietto.
Open a piece to print any of its versions free, or to play it at your MIDI keyboard with every note marked. New to reading? The level 2 sight-reading exercises are a good warm-up.
