Christmas Favorites Viola Instrumental Play-along (Hal Leonard)

This festive collection contains 15 popular holiday favourites arranged for solo viola, accompanied by a play-along CD that allows players to practise and perform with professionally recorded backing tracks. The edition is approximately intermediate level and contains 16 pages of music.
