I love Thanksgiving! It’s one of the last non-commercialized holiday here in the U.S. Below you’ll find some great piano solo (and duet) selections for a variety of levels.
1. “Over the River & Through the Woods” (Easy Solo with Duet)
This is always a favorite with students. The Primo part works as a stand-alone solo for beginners and late beginners, but add in the duet part and you’ve got something super special!

2. “Thanksgiving Medley” (Intermediate Piano Solo)
A medley of traditional Thanksgiving tunes arranged in a contemporary lyrical setting for intermediates featuring “Over the River and Through the Woods” and “We Gather Together.” Perfect for recitals, church offertories, or just casual enjoyment during the holiday season!
3. “We Gather Together” (Intermediate Piano Solo)
We Gather Together is a traditional Dutch melody commonly heard around the Thanksgiving season. It is arranged here as an intermediate lyrical solo with a splash of J.S. Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.”
4. “Come, Ye Thankful People, Come” (Late Intermediate)
Come, Ye Thankful People, Come is a Thanksgiving favorite blended with the traditional Shaker melody “Simple Gifts” in a lush arrangement for late intermediates.

5. “Gobble Wobble Rag” (Early Intermediate Solo)
Gobble Wobble Rag is an upbeat pattern-based ragtime solo composed by Jennifer Eklund. This is a great exercise for early intermediates with a focus on split articulations between the hands. Gobble, gobble!
