We often talk about the “summer slide” for students in which their piano skills become rusty after less practice or even no practice in the summer. But teachers too have a “summer slump” that we have to overcome to mentally, emotionally, and physically get back into the rigor of planning and preparing for the teaching year.
But we can help! Teachers say our August kick-off webinar is the perfect way to get excited and energized about the coming year. And this year is no exception! At our 2026 “Ignite the Spark” webinar, we’re going to unveil new music for some of our most popular series. Music that will get your students excited to practice and ideas that will get you energized to teach:
**Note: All the links take you to what’s currently out there. Come to the kick-off webinar to see the new music!
- New Little Fuzzies music that will make your students laugh and run to the piano to practice
- Two fresh and moving Beautiful Wonders pieces for your early and mid intermediate students
- Three Color Rote and Reading® solos – Inspired by a student who organizes his Color music by ROYGBIV, Wendy even composed one of these in the early intermediate level!
- New Adventure Rote and Reading® music – Can you guess what region it features this time? The bundle will come with an amazing bonus cover as usual!
- New Side Quests™ – video game music from Jason Sifford
- New Binder Covers & Inserts – to help you get and stay organized and to help you use music you already have
- New Little Fuzzy stickers – limited quantities!
- Updated Student Solutions Catalog – with new categories that will be extremely helpful for planning
Plus, you’ll hear teaching tips and ideas from Nancy, Wendy, Jason, and many of the teachers who attend!
We’ve been working on this music for the last 6 months and are thrilled to get it out to you to use with your students at our Ignite the Spark webinar.
We hope you’ll join us for the community-building fun that our webinars provide. You don’t want to miss it. “See” you there! 🩷
