O Come O Come Emmanuel
This is an easy arrangement (easier than God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen) that effectively uses pedal throughout the piece, though it is not a pentatonic tune. Haunting and mysterious, this arrangement is great for sensitive students or older students who are just beginners

I love this God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen arrangement very much. My youngest daughter played it last year. This piece promotes expressive playing.

These are 2 standard Christmas pieces in my studio! My students love arrangements like this that are really pleasing to the audience to hear. The student feels special because it’s more than just a run through of a Christmas carol. Even if the students aren’t familiar with the original pieces, they like these arrangements! It helps to round out a program instead of hearing of the same old pieces.
