The 12 Days of Christmas Teacher Challenge

12/19/2021

0 Comments

Last year, I shared a "12 Days of Christmas" practice challenge for students, with one short piano-related activity that could be done each day of Christmas break.

This year, I thought I would mix it up and create a similar challenge for teachers! The end of the year is a perfect time for rest, reflection, and thinking ahead to the new year. This 12 day challenge will provide you with opportunities to play piano for your own enjoyment, organize your studio, and set goals for the new year.

Click HERE to get your free copy of the "12 Days of Christmas Teacher Challenge!"

I hope you have a wonderful, rejuvenating holiday break! See you back here at the end of the month to kick off 2022!
