🎹 About the First Christmas Pop Solos songbook series:
The holiday season tends to sneak up on teachers and students, especially those who start lessons at the beginning of the new school year. Finding great secular holiday music for beginners beyond the usual traditional favorites (looking at you “Jolly Old St. Nicholas” and “Jingle Bells”!) is especially challenging.
I created this series to satisfy the needs of first and second year beginning level students so they can play all the pop Christmas favorites with a little backup from you (or a capable parent or sibling) in the form of duet accompaniments. All of the student parts can stand-alone and are written in a five-finger, one-note-at-a-time format with no shared keys and no key signatures. Add in the duet part and you have a lot of extra pizazz in the mix making these pieces perfect for holiday recitals and performances.
This series of articles will include:
An overview of each songbook in the series including links to each individual song and a video playlist of all the songs in each volume.
Featured Favorites: this is where I highlight some of my personal favorites from each volume. Roll down memory lane and watch original music videos of my favorites and learn more about these hits.
Hopefully this series will help you discover some new tunes along the way!
