A Note to Teachers and Parents
Music Experience Christmas C contains expanded reading skills in its Christmas pieces. It is easier to challenge
students with new concepts on recognizable tunes. The ensembles also offer new challenges and can really help
students develop new reading skills. Music Experience
TM
books offer flexibility in teaching and studying music, it is like
having a music workshop in every lesson. Students can be taught in either private or group settings with the series of
Music Experience books. They have been specifically written to enhance student’s technic and the intervallic, multi-key
reading found in the solo pieces. It is as important for students to play the ensembles in various combinations of 2, 3, and 4 parts
as it is to play the solo pieces. Ensembles can be played with the teacher, family members, other students, friends, .mp3 or
General MIDI disk. On more difficult ensemble parts, only play beat one of each measure. Split more difficult ensemble
parts between two players of different playing ability. Octave ranges on some brands of equipment vary (check manual).
