Today I am sharing a fun classical freebie that your students are sure to recognize! The famous "Blue Danube Waltz" by Johann Strauss, Jr. is probably one of the best known waltzes ever written. This easy arrangement is a great introduction to the waltz bass and helps students to review the primary chords in the key of C major. This happy piece just makes me think of summer! Click HERE or on the picture for your free copy! (P.S. Looking for more arrangements of classical favorites? Check out my collections on Sheet Music Plus HERE and HERE!)  With our virtual spring recital done, and the (online) school year wrapping up, I am looking ahead and planning a few fun challenges to keep my students busy this summer. One challenge I will be giving my students this summer is to update their repertoire lists with all of the pieces that they currently have performance-ready. To help with this, I created this fun "o-fish-el" (ha ha!) summer repertoire challenge page for my younger students. I hope to see lots of brightly colored fish (and titles of favorite pieces) on each student's page by the time fall gets here! Want to try the summer repertoire challenge with your students? Click HERE or on the picture above to download a free copy to share with your students! What fun summer challenges do you have planned in your studio? I would love to hear from you in the comments!  Today I am sharing another limited time freebie, available from Piano Pronto, for your elementary and late elementary students! This fun piece from the "Easy Perfect Patterns" collection is a sneaky way to help your students practice crossing left hand over right hand and shifting both hands up and down an octave. Click HERE or on the cover photo to get your free copy; the unlimited studio license is also on sale for $5! |
