For the next six weeks, Andrea and I are going full-on holiday mode 🙂
From primer to older beginner to intermediate, we have an entire sleigh full of printables to share with you and your students.
Earliest this week we kicked off our holiday collection with the release of our newest book, The “Elf-a” Notes World Tour, V. U. Level C: Alpha Note Christmas Songs and Activities for Pre-Reading Piano Students.
You can get it here if you haven’t already checked it out.
In today’s post, we are sharing an early primer Christmas printable that reinforces keyboard awareness.
We’ll also take a look at a few more holiday resources that will thrill your students.
Three Essential Christmas Books For Your Collection
Today’s Christmas Keyboard Clip Cards can be found at the bottom of the post, but first, let’s look at the holiday resources that should be on every piano teacher’s shelf.
Christmas Book 1: The “Elf-a” Notes World Tour, V. U. Level C
On Tuesday we released our first ever early primer Christmas book…
The “Elf-a” Notes World Tour, V. U. Level C.
With Christmas classics arranged specifically for pre-reading students, The “Elf-a” Notes World Tour is the holiday resource that will actually speed up the development of your early primer piano students.
If you want to combine the joy of learning music with the joy of Christmas, there is no better resource than this book.
On Thursday we shared an entire “look inside” preview of The “Elf-a” Notes World Tour on the Teach Piano Today blog.

Christmas Book 2: The Flight Of The Christmas Tree, V. U. Level G
Like all of the piano books in Andrea and Trevor Dow’s Very Useful Piano Library, The Flight Of The Christmas Tree is a pedagogical powerhouse jam-packed with piano songs and activities… but with a Christmas-themed twist.
Composed in middle C position, the traditional Christmas carols in this book combine with hilarious lyrics to weave a heartwarming holiday tale.
This book is leveled for mid-primer piano students but it is composed so that it can be used with late primer, and even level 1 piano students too.

Christmas Book 3: Comet’s Freezing Cold Carols, V. U. Level K
If you have been teaching for a while, you know that most popular holiday tunes cannot be played at the pedagogical level of a primer or early level 1 student.
Whether it’s eighth-note rhythms, tricky hand movements, or unfamiliar grand staff notes, most Christmas tunes don’t care about pedagogical progress.
This means, that holiday tunes often confuse kids… until now.
Composed in C position, the reimagined Christmas solos in Comet’s Freezing Cold Carols will help children gain confidence playing hands-together stepping and skipping notes, beginning left-hand accompaniments, and quarter rests.
