Christmas time began a couple of weeks ago for me. I have a substantial list of all of the Christmas carols and holiday songs my students want to learn for the season. Now I have to buy, copy, print, and arrange all of these songs for each of them taking note of their respective levels and abilities. All of this has to be done before the middle of October so that they have plenty of time to learn their holiday repertoire. Yes, it's not even Halloween yet and we're already starting on Christmas. Let the games begin. (And may the odds be ever in our favor.)
P.S. I'm sharing this document that I spent the morning putting together. If you haven't seen color music before, you should. It's easy to make, and it's great for pre-readers. This is one of at least two Christmas carols I am going to arrange in color music for my littlest guys so that they too can participate in the Christmas recital this year. I see no reason anyone should be left out of a recital because there are no pieces arranged for their level when color music is so accessible for them and in my power to create.
