In the early 1900s, the Ukrainian composer, Mykola Leontovich, created a work called, “Shchedryk”. While it may seem unfamiliar at first glance, Shchedryk became popularized as Carol of the Bells.
I know very little about Mykola Leontovich, but he must have had pop-rock running through his veins. In my opinion, the original music has a real modern flair.
And that is why I decided to compose a classical pop piano piece based on Shchedryk.
If you have a Christmas recital coming up in late November or December, your late level 2 or early level 3 piano students have plenty of time to learn this piece.
And you will be glad they did! It is a real show-stopper!
But that’s not the only surprise we are sharing…
In today’s post, not only can you download our holiday classical pop solo, but you will also discover another exciting Christmas book.
Before You Download Today’s Holiday Piano Solo For Teens
Last year we released Comet’s Freezing Cold Carols (check it out here). and The Flight Of The Christmas Tree, V. U. Level G: Holiday Songs and Activities for Mid-Primer Piano Students.
Like Comet’s Freezing Cold Carols, The Flight Of The Christmas Tree is another loveable, musical holiday tale. But it differs in two important ways:
1) The Flight Of The Christmas Tree is composed in middle C position and can be used with students working their way through a primer piano method book.
2) The Flight Of The Christmas Tree contains holiday songs in a more traditional arrangement than in Comet’s Freezing Cold Carols. We were eager to give teachers a choice in their holiday repertoire selection. While we had a blast putting a twist on traditional tunes in Comet’s Freezing Cold Carols, in The Flight Of The Christmas Tree we have arranged holiday classics that stay true to their tunes, while being pedagogically approachable to primer students.
And while the music will sound wonderfully familiar, we’ve injected our hilarious lyrics to tell a holiday story that will captivate your students.
