Also included is a genre index that organizes songs into sections.

A multimedia disc within (in DVD-ROM format) has MP3s demonstrating the piano parts, and to further inspire your own sing-alongs, easy-to-print lyric sheets to all the tunes are provided. For the musician seeking a challenge, the disc also features six intermediate to advanced solo and duet piano pieces in PDF format. Lastly, Alfred Music's exclusive TNT 2 software is also provided, allowing you to slow down the demonstration audio, loop sections, and change keys for practice.

Everyone wants to play and sing carols at Christmas. Christmas Carol Time provides twelve popular carols and Christmas songs, attractively arranged for the beginner pianist to play either as solos or - with a friend, family member or teacher - as duets! Either version is complete in itself. For every piece words are printed under the tune, with the piano solo printed on the opposite page (without the lyrics). Children will have fun learning as they play, and gain the real satisfaction of contributing to the enjoyment of Christmas.
