New Year Piano Hallelujah!

Our Winter Holiday Open House was a great event! The students played BEAUTIFULLY!! This duet is played by Erin Falls and myself. I know Erin will enjoy having this recording in her On-Line Musical Memory Book on the Kids Piano Page. Many students played their pieces several times with me at the Open House. Playing together is so much fun - especially the joyful songs everyone loves to hear during the holiday season.

The end of the year is a great time for students to celebrate their progress by taking a "listen" back through the years in their Musical Memory Books. It's so easy to do this on the Kids Piano Page. During the last week of the term I make time to do this during lessons. Students always say things like, "I remember playing that song last year!" and "Listen to my very first Holiday Piece - Jolly Old St. Nicholas! Gosh, I can't believe I've been playing so long! I've made a lot of progress since I began piano!"

Now it is time to set new goals for a New Year. To help with this, below is a link to free sheet music to encourage students to keep celebrating their piano progress. I hope students enjoy this fun variation for level 1 or level 2 students on a familiar tune from George Frederic Handel - Piano New Year Hallelujah!

Carol of the Bells - A Piano Student Favorite

Carol of the Bells is a wonderful selection that all students love to play. This makes it espeically perfect for students who prefer more secular music but love to participate in the happy celebrations of the holiday season. Carol of the Bells is a universal melody recognized everywhere for its joyful spirit and intense rhythm. Below is a recording Carol of the Bells, played by Ismael Syed, which he performed at my Winter Holiday Open House. This arrangement is from the Faber Collection.
