In the past two months my students have played their instruments much more than the rest of the year combined (our school year began in March).
At first, we were okay using the free PDF downloads from www.capotastomusic.com, but recently, my students have been getting better and better and we have required more and more literature.
This means one of two things for me;
- I have to spend much more time on the internet searching for content; or
- I have to spend much more money buying content
But here's the thing:
there is a limited supply of quality content for beginners playing classroom instruments
Sometimes I find a great arrangement for the ukulele, but the same song is not available for piano or xylophone in the same key.
And here's the other thing;
I am a solution-oriented person. If I can't find a solution, I make it.
So, I have decided to write arrangements of songs that I want to teach the kids in keys that are easy for xylophone and piano.
Here's what I have so far:
- Jingle Bells
- Silent Night
- Feliz Navidad
- La Bamba
Keep coming back to this post! The list will keep growing ;)
