November is here, and piano teachers everywhere are deep into holiday music planning. This is the perfect time to source new, exciting material that will last the whole season.
Today we are thrilled to introduce Skyline Carol, a brilliant (multi-use!) holiday rhythm duet that delivers on all fronts.
Skyline Carol is a lively, pop-infused arrangement of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing designed as a dynamic body-percussion duet. Here’s the setup: while a teacher or an intermediate Level 2 student plays the piece, a student or group provides the synchronized rhythmic heartbeat.
This single Christmas resource provides a fun holiday rhythm activity, a group lesson centerpiece, an intermediate standalone solo, or a show-stopping recital finale. It is truly a holiday powerhouse for your studio.
Ready to bring this fresh, festive, and flexible resource to your piano studio? Let’s dive in!
More Pop Power: The Christmas Music Teens Actually Love
The fresh, rhythmic style of today’s holiday rhythm duet gives your Level 2 students that modern, pop sound they crave. But what about your early intermediate students who need something just as sophisticated? Finding age-appropriate Christmas music for the teen demographic is often a yearly challenge for teachers.
If you love the cinematic, pop-infused flair of Skyline Carol, then you absolutely need to meet The Streetlamp Solos. This collection is designed specifically for early intermediate teens who want dramatic, powerful music. It gives them a fantastic reason to truly fall back in love with Christmas music.
The Streetlamp Solos takes beloved carols like The First Noel and Joy To The World and transforms them into epic arrangements. The music is inspired by Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, capturing a journey of shadow and soaring hope. Expect powerful pop piano ballads and soul-stirring minor melodies.
This collection meets your older students at that perfect blend of emotional depth and musical maturity. The pieces sound far more advanced than the skills required to play them.
