Andrea and I are very excited to announce that our new Christmas piano book is ready for your primer and early level 1 students.
Comet’s Freezing Cold Carols, V. U. Level K: Christmas Songs and Activities for Late Primer Piano Students is more exciting than Christmas morning (it’s available here).
And it’s not just students that will be jumping for joy; teachers will fall in love with this incredible resource that keeps kids progressing during the busy and distracting holiday season.
If you have been teaching for a while, you know that most popular holiday tunes cannot be played at the pedagogical level of a primer or early level 1 student.
Whether it’s eighth-note rhythms, tricky hand movements, or unfamiliar grand staff notes, most Christmas tunes don’t care about pedagogical progress.
This means, that holiday tunes often confuse kids… until now.
The reimagined Christmas solos in Comet’s Freezing Cold Carols are composed with the late primer and early level 1 student in mind.
Your students will fall in love with the original, yet familiar music, the hilarious holiday story, and the fun theory games and activities.
In today’s post, you can learn more about Comet’s Freezing Cold Carols and see inside with a 14-page preview.
