A GIVEAWAY!! (Jumping for joy...)
Leah is hosting a Christmas CD giveaway on her blog, Drops From My Cup. Leah is a piano teacher in New Brunswick. I listened to the clips from this cd and LOVE IT!! (With a capital heart) There are even ways to enter more than once. So head on over to her blog and find out how to enter this fantastic giveaway!! Even if you don't win the cd, you will enjoy the clips you hear and you will purchase your own. Yeah, its just that good.
Secondly, A RESOURCE:
Over at Layton Music they have a great rhythm game using Christmas carols. The rhythm of a carol is written out on little cards that the student has to put in order. How neat is that? I am planning on using these this week in my lessons. One of the great things I like about it is that it will be thought provoking even for my most advanced student. And games for him are hard to find. I did notice as I was cutting them out that the song "O Christmas Tree" has one too many beats in the top right-hand box. Minor detail, I just used a little white-out on mine. But it sure did have me stumped for a bit!!
I hope you enjoy these last few lessons with your students and that you are able to use some of these great resources.
What all have you been doing in your lessons lately? How long of a break are you taking off this Christmas?
I only have one "student" we haven't officially started lessons other than little tutorials here and there. With the Christmas season in full swing time is in short supply. I'm planning on starting full lessons with her after the new year. If you count "tutorials" we're taking break from those December 11th through January 5th. So thats a good solid 3 weeks for us!
