Five New Zealand Christmas Songs are a welcome addition to use alongside standard repertoire. The imaginative teacher will find them invaluable in teaching aural and keyboard skills, plus the inclusion of chord symbols with the words are a bonus, making these pieces ideal for use in group situations. Highly recommended.” Adrienne Van Drimmelen AIRMT
