Merry Christmas! A New Listening & Coloring Book
I am so excited today to release my new Shades of Sound Listening & Coloring Book! This one is all about music of the Christmas season. It includes 20 pieces of music from the solo piano and orchestral literature, from the Baroque through the Modern period. Students can use The Playful Piano – Christmas Listening YouTube playlist to listen right along with their book as they color the beautiful coloring pages!
This Christmas Shades of Sound book has a couple of fun and unique features to it. First, it includes a Christmas countdown calendar that students can fill in as they listen to the pieces. There is one piece for each day of the month of December (including the “Further Listening” examples included on some pages) leading up to Christmas. What a fun way to get excited for Christmas!
The second fun feature is the familiar Christmas melodies that are hidden throughout the book. There are twelve Christmas carols and tunes notated in the front of the book for students to play through, and then listen for as they listen and color their way through the book. When they find them they get to color the little picture next to the melody. Do you think you could find them all?
I hope you and your students enjoy this coloring book as much as I enjoyed making it! Purchase includes a Studio License to print out copies for all of your students in your studio forever. This would make a fun Christmas gift for students or be a great enhancement to their piano study for the month of December!
