Sheet music:'Twas the Night Before Christmas Students' Piano Series Adapted From Walt Disney's Musical Scores

Beginning with the early musical short features he created, such as his "Silly Symphonies," Walt Disney began a tradition of publishing printed music for all the songs his musical films made popular. His firm eventually formed its own publishing house and then even its own record company to continue this practice. Disney's sheet music was typically simple to learn and play, which made it more appealing to his generally young audiences. Some publishers even used Disney songs as teaching tools for young pianists.
