The carols are written specifically for beginner and intermediate oboists, and they progress in terms of difficulty.

The Christmas Oboe Duet Book is unlike most duet books because there are at least two versions of every carol in the book. The first version of each song has the melody in the top line for the entire carol. The second version of each song trades the melody back and forth between the two oboe parts. These arrangements work well for two students playing together, since both oboists will have an opportunity to play the melody. They can be used as an educational tool to help students identify when they are playing the melody and when they are playing the accompanying part.

At the end of the book there are four extra carols for more advanced players: two more arrangements of Jingle Bells, and one each of O Christmas Tree and Silent Night.
