Christmas Theory Worksheet

"Power" Practice Assignment Sheet
I know kids well--without written instructions, most will never rememer what they're supposed to practice at home.
So I did all the work for you to create a Pratice Assignment Sheet so that your students can practice the fun Christmas pieces they learned in class.
What makes this Practice Assignment Sheet so powerful?
In addition to listing which pieces to practice, it's got detailed practice instructions that follow a proven formula.
It's also got a practice log, so that right there next to their assignment kids can record their at-home practice efforts.
If you want, you can ask kids to bring their completed practice log to the next lesson to earn points or a treat.

Q: How long is each lesson?
A: There is more than enough material to fill a one hour group lesson. I wanted you to have plenty of material so that you wouldn't be left hanging. Different teachers will progress through the activities at different paces, depending on the numer of students in their class, the attention span of their students, and many other factors. Feel free to select the activities that are the best fit for your students. During class, pay attention to your students’ cues to know when to move on to the next activity.
Q: How do I fit these lessons into my regular curriculum?
A: To use the Christmas lesson plans, simply pause your regular curriculum for two weeks and insert the holiday lesson plans. Then in January, pick up where you left off with your regular curriculum.Your students will love that you made time for some Christmas fun!
Q: I don't currently teach group piano lessons, but I'd like to try it out. Can I use these Christmas lessons to do so?
A: If you don't currently teach group lessons, now's the perfect time to invite all your beginner students to come to a fun group lesson Christmas Party! You'll be giving your students a fun exprience and you'll get to "test the waters" of group teaching.
The only part of lesson plan that you'd need to modify is the "on the bench" time if you don't have multiple pianos or keyboards. If you only have one piano, you can invite muliple students at a time to play the piece on different octaves.
But as for the rest of the lesson, you're good to go! Your students will love getting to learn music and play games with friends. And you'll appreciate that you get to experiment with what it’s like to teach group piano lessons--without making a commitment until after you see how you like it.
