Holiday recitals are over, contest pieces are picked for next year, and only one lesson left before Christmas!

What's a teacher to do?

Check out my free Christmas themed worksheets! These are a great way to get a little extra theory and ear training practice in before Christmas break.

I will definitely be using these with my students as we wrap things up for the year. Will you be doing anything special with your students as 2016 comes to a close?

A Christmas Transposing Challenge!

11/7/2016

With the Christmas season approaching, it is a perfect time to mix in some holiday themed musicianship activities with your students!

Transposing is a great activity to reinforce intervallic reading, get students playing in a variety of keys, and encourage careful listening. (Read my previous posts on why I teach transposition and how I introduce it to my students here and here.) Today's post will feature three holiday transposing worksheets, all of which can be found in the "Free Stuff" section of my website. Click HERE to see all my transposing challenge worksheets.

Jingle Bells Challenge: this is a great first transposition project for students. This shortened version of the song uses only five notes, is RH only, and provides lots of finger numbers to help students new to transposing.
Ode to Joy Challenge: this is a LH only transposition challenge featuring just five notes.
Deck the Halls Challenge: this challenge is appropriate for older students, and uses both hands.

What do you think? Will you encourage your students to transpose some of these familiar Christmas tunes this year?
