The Holiday Music 2025 Bundle by Wendy Stevens
This year, Wendy admits that writing the pieces for the new Holiday Music 2025 Bundle was not initially as effortless as she hoped. But as her gears turned, she remembered how many of our teacher friends live in the South and the Southern Hemisphere! She became inspired to think about how the holidays are beautiful no matter the weather.
Once she started composing, the ideas kept pouring out, and our new holiday music pieces are what resulted. We hope you have as much fun seeing the new pieces and their awesome covers as Wendy had creating them!
Here’s a quick overview of the 7 titles, but actually 8 pieces that come in the 2025 Holiday Music Bundle by level:
