The Vibrant Violin Book of Christmas Carols

The Vibrant Violin Book of Christmas Carols includes 40 traditional Christmas carols arranged for the beginner to intermediate violinist. Includes all our favourite Christmas carols and a few that are less well known. Starting with the easiest and gradually getting trickier, this collection is intended to be enjoyed year after year.

Ideal for diving into the Christmas spirit or entertaining the family. Free (very special) backing tracks to a selection of the carols are available to download from the website (details below) and a piano accompaniment book is available separately. A great incentive for holiday practice!
