Jazz Christmas Guitar for Kids
Christmas Jazz Guitar Sheet Music
What Is This Book?
Christmas Jazz Guitar Sheet Music is a festive collection of traditional Christmas songs arranged with colorful jazz harmonies for young guitarists. Each piece includes melody, chord symbols, and lyrics so students can strum, pick, and sing along. The included online MP3 audio helps learners hear how jazz-style Christmas guitar should sound.
Who Is This Book For?
This book is ideal for late-beginner to intermediate guitar students, generally ages 9 and up. It works well for private lessons, school music programs, holiday concerts, and home learners who want to explore jazz sounds. Adult beginners who read basic notation or chord symbols will also enjoy using it for seasonal playing and family sing-alongs.
What Makes This Book Easy for Kids to Learn?
Arrangements are written with clear, readable notation so young players can focus on learning the music, not deciphering the page. Chord symbols appear above the staff, making it simple for students who already know open chords or basic jazz shapes to strum along. The pacing moves from simpler harmonies to richer jazz colors, helping kids grow into the sound step by step. Having the melody, chords, and lyrics together keeps the layout straightforward for both students and teachers.
What Music Does the Book Include?
This book focuses on traditional, well-known Christmas carols and holiday favorites arranged in a jazz style. Students will recognize familiar melodies while discovering new, sophisticated harmonies. The mix of tunes works for solo guitar performance, accompanying singers, or playing along with the audio tracks during the holiday season.
Are There Fun Extras Included?
The book includes online MP3 audio recordings so learners can hear each arrangement performed in a jazz style. Students can listen for inspiration, play along for practice, or use the tracks as festive backing for performances and holiday gatherings.

How to Use This Book
Teachers can use one or two songs at a time in weekly lessons, first teaching the melody and then layering in chord work and listening to the audio tracks. Parents can encourage kids to choose favorite carols and perform them for family gatherings, using the MP3 recordings as backing tracks. Students can work through the pieces independently, starting with the easier harmonies and returning to each tune throughout the season to refine rhythm, tone, and jazz-style expression. Small ensembles or school groups can assign some players to melody and others to chords for simple jazz combo-style performances.
