The Winter Holiday Open House was a great event! The students played BEAUTIFULLY!! My Tally Piano Music Club iTunes, our studio podcast, has been updated with even more holiday music! (Find link in the sidebar.)
Thanks so much parents and students for your hard work and support. Below is a lovely recording of O' Come All Ye Faithful, just one of the many holiday pieces you can download from our podcast. This duet is played by Erin Falls and myself. Keep up the good work, Erin! 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 tp 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!
