Christmas Jazz Trumpet Sheet Music
What Is This Book?
Christmas Jazz Trumpet Sheet Music is a festive collection of Christmas carols arranged in an easy jazz style for trumpet with piano accompaniment. The book combines simple, approachable trumpet melodies with richer jazz harmonies in the piano part, giving young players a chance to sound mature and sophisticated. With over forty classic carols in jazz-inspired arrangements, it’s ideal for holiday performances, recitals, and home music-making.
Who Is This Book For?
This book is designed for elementary through middle-school trumpet players, roughly ages 8–14, who can read basic notes and rhythms.
It works well for school band students, private lesson studios, homeschool music programs, and young players learning at home with a parent or pianist.
It’s also a strong choice for church services, holiday concerts, house concerts, and family gatherings where a student trumpet player wants to play Christmas music with a pianist.
What Makes This Book Easy for Kids to Learn?
The trumpet parts focus on clear, singable melody lines that are kept fairly easy to play.
Ranges are comfortable for younger players, avoiding extreme high notes that can be frustrating.
Rhythms in the trumpet part are straightforward, so students can concentrate on sound, style, and confidence rather than difficult counting.
Repeating patterns and familiar carol melodies help kids learn quickly and feel successful.
The jazz color and complexity are carried mainly by the piano accompaniment, allowing even beginners to sound advanced when they perform with a pianist.
What Music Does the Book Include?
The book features more than forty well-known Christmas carols and holiday hymns arranged in a jazz-influenced style for trumpet and piano.
You’ll find timeless favorites such as “Angels from the Realms of Glory,” “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” “O Holy Night,” “Jingle Bells,” and “Silent Night,” along with many other beloved Christmas standards.
Each piece is arranged as a trumpet solo with a rich, rhythmic piano part that adds swing, syncopation, and jazz harmonies.
The collection is ideal for building a full holiday repertoire for church, recitals, school events, or seasonal background music.
