First Christmas with Piano

For children who begin taking piano lessons in the spring or summer, Tio, das Tastenmännchen (EB 8845) is the perfect book for sun and outdoor fun. But what happens when the first piano lessons take place as the days get shorter? Suppose little Tio wants to celebrate Christmas? We’re sure he’d love to, particularly since he knows many Christmas carols from various countries. Kerstin Strecke has put some of them to music in Tio feiert Weihnachten. Some of the pieces are in two versions, and the book is – like the previous one – lovingly illustrated. In a way, the new book grows alongside the earlier one: the very easy variant for the first Christmas at the piano, and the easy one the following year. Children will have fun with Tio at every time of the year.
