1. Create a holiday music repertoire list.
One of my favorite ways to wrap up the semester is to have students review and create a list of all the holiday repertoire they have learned. As a bonus, this gives students a handy list of all the pieces they can play for friends and family over winter break!

4. Sight-read a holiday duet.
The last lesson of the year is a perfect time to break out the duets! Be sure to pick a piece a couple of levels easier than your student's current playing level.
I love playing duets from Jennifer Eklund's "Christmas for Two" collection, found HERE. Or, check out one of my holiday duets available for purchase HERE!
