Intermediate Violin Christmas Solo

Looking for violin Christmas music? It is that time of year when music teachers begin choosing and introducing Christmas music. (And you wonder why we are tired of it by the time Christmas rolls around?) There have been some years I have waited until Halloween in order to introduce pieces, but that means I often only have 3 or 4 weeks for them to learn the piece well enough to play at a Christmas recital. So I usually begin talking about titles and choosing music at the beginning of October. 

I had trouble finding Christmas music that challenged my intermediate and advanced students. Many of the publications I found are collections that include the melody line of carols and songs. Intermediate students can sight read these. And I was wanting something to challenge them and reinforce technique but allowing them to enjoy playing a Christmas tune! Because I couldn’t find much, I’ve been writing Christmas music for this level of playing over the last decade. It’s one of my favorite genres to arrange!
