Christmas is a joyous time of year filled with events that create a lifetime of memories . I remember the huge Christmas tree at my grandparents’ house, homemade holiday treats, the reading of the Christmas story from the Bible, and, of course, Santa’s visit! Christmas music was always the highlight for me and truly captured the spirit of the season .

In that spirit, I have written Grand Duets for Christmas, Book 1 to provide memorable experiences for today’s students at the piano . Whether performing with a teacher, sibling, parent, or friend, students can learn familiar Christmas music that will help them progress technically and musically . Rhythm, phrasing, articulation, and dynamics all become won-derful teaching tools while students listen for the unique blending of the two parts .

Duets continue to spark excitement in my studio . I sincerely hope that you will enjoy

using these Grand Duets for Christmas this holiday season!

Best wishes,
