Christmas Piano Music Pdf

[Joseph]

I was a mama-trained, daddy-sent, accomplished classical pianist all my childhood through college. Tired of the over saturation, I pursued another career, completely dropped classical music and only played for church for 48 years. I lost all my classical skill and technique. When I retired from my career, I wanted to begin practicing again but was very bored lack of strength, skill and the same classical pieces from college days. I had severe osteoarthritis in both wrists that caused stabbing pain in my hands. After CMC Arthroplasty reconstruction on both my hands and wrists at age 60, my hands were better than ever, but beginning piano again seemed impossible to attain. I was desperate and prayed for "something different" to motivate me to build my skill again. While trudging through the scales, arpeggios, and technique practice, God blessed me to stumble on a DAVID HICKEN link at the age of 69. I was mesmerized with the desire to be able to play again like that. After 2 years of technique practice and at least 9 David Hicken's books of brilliantly designed compositions, I am SO MOTIVATED as my brain and hands are slowly but surely getting back the skill that I used to enjoy. It is more rewarding than ever to be able to play again, (like a long-lost language) that I thought was gone forever. I am elated with motivation at 71 years this Sept. 2023, that my greatest joy is still ahead of me. I am here to tell you, no matter how long it has been, you CAN do it again. Thank you, David Hicken!

These musically appealing arrangements for piano duet exhibit a vast range of styles and colors. The primo and secondo parts are equally interesting, giving each player an opportunity to be "center-stage."

I just moved and have to start my studio all over. :'( But I love all the music you provide. I love to play Three Ships. My husband is the perfect level for all the teen-targeted music in the Piano Book Club. I love having my children see both Mommy AND Daddy having fun at the piano. Thank you for everything, Dows!

I wait eagerly every day for your post. I have learned so much and am a very different (better) teacher because of you. What a generous couple you are. I hope you are rewarded by the number of teachers that are helped like me.

I love your fun ideas for games. I have one-on-one lessons with my students, and as a new teacher, I like having a repertoire of games, in which they learn something new. I use them when my lesson ends a minute or two early. thanks so much for everything!

Hi
Yes thank you sooo sooo much for all the inspiration. I am very happy that I joined your clubs. Kids love the games and my new teen student decided to continue as he loves the Christmas piece too. You have changed my way of teaching for a better one. Thank you :-)))

Thank you so much for the Christmas resources.
Three Ships and In the Bright Sky are beautiful. My students are really enjoying playing your music and I am enjoying being a club member. Thank you.

This song dates back as early as the 15th century, although no one knows its original author. In 1833, this song was included in an anthology of Christmas music and has been a Christmas classic ever since.

One of the first songs composed by Leroy Anderson when he got out of the Army in 1946. Written that summer during a heat wave, the lyrics were added 5 years later after the song already experienced immense popularity.

Some people wonder if they have to tip their child's music teacher. This is a very common question and I get asked it often, so I decided to write a blog post about it. So, should you tip your piano/music teacher?

No, you should not tip your music teacher. Private music teachers are not tipped after they teach a lesson. It is common to give your music teacher a small gift during the holiday season though.

Even though you should not necessarily give your piano teacher a tip it is nice to give them a gift during the holiday season. This is a really great way to show your piano or music teacher that you appreciate what they are doing. As a music teacher who teaches piano lessons in Beaverton myself, it always means so much to me when one of my families gives me a small gift.

Regardless of what holidays your music teacher celebrates or what religion they are, it is often good to give them a gift before the holiday break at school. And this is a safe way to time giving them a holiday gift. Because no matter what religion someone is, everyone is taking a break during the holidays before New Years.

So you should shoot for giving your piano teacher a gift at the end of the last lesson before holiday break. In some school districts they call this winter break. Trust me your piano teacher will really appreciate this and it will mean a lot to them, even if it is just a small gift. I've always enjoyed getting gifts at the end of the year.

Another time it is appropriate to give your music or piano teacher gift is when you are done taking lessons with them. This depends on how long you have been taking lessons with them and how close a relationship you have with them. If you have been taking lessons for more than a year with your teacher, you should probably get them a small gift when you are done with lessons with them.

This can happen because of 2 different reasons. I've received gifts when I have moved away from a family that I've been teaching. It meant a lot to me that they took the time to get me a small gift, even though I was moving away. It is a symbol of how much my effort meant to this family. Every once in a while I still think about it to this day.

Another time you could get your teacher gift is if they've been teaching you for over a year and you are done or your child is done taking lessons from them. Giving a gift at this point is less common, but if you're close with the teacher you should still get them a gift. This way they know that they did a good job teaching you or your children.

The next thing you're probably wondering is how much do you have to spend on the gift for your piano teacher. A gift between $20 and $30 is appropriate for your piano or music teacher. The point of this gift is to show your teacher that you appreciate them, it is not actually about giving them an expensive impressive gift.

So don't worry about spending too much money on a gift for your piano teacher. They will certainly appreciate anything you got them. It really is the thought that counts. Believe it or not most of the time your teacher will be surprised by the gift also. As a piano teacher I didn't receive gifts from every family I taught, but I did receive gifts from many of the families. It always felt so good to receive a gift and it had nothing to do with the monetary value of the gift. Like I said before, my student baking me cookies might be my favorite gift I've received.
