Every July, piano teachers all over the world wait for it…
That moment when Santa ditches his boots, grabs a sunhat, and makes his grand summer appearance on the Teach Piano Today blog.
Yup… Christmas In July is back!
This year, we’ve cooked up a summer piano parody of “Jolly Old St. Nicholas”—perfectly arranged for late primer piano students.
Use it in summer lessons, with group classes, or email it as a fun little practice challenge while the sun shines.
A Sunny Twist On Jolly Old St. Nicholas
Today’s Christmas In July piece is a quirky take on “Jolly Old St. Nicholas”.
The lyrics? Let’s just say Santa’s swapped gift deliveries for selling lemonade… because, well, Christmas is expensive. From reindeer snacks to wrapping paper, it all adds up—so why not set up a lemonade stand to help cover the costs?
With a catchy melody that’s instantly familiar (thanks to Jolly Old St. Nicholas) and hilarious summer lyrics, your students will be giggling while building confidence in reading, rhythm, and coordination.
This printable piano piece is ready to roll at the bottom of the post—just download, print, and teach.
