Now Available: Piano Tracks for Holiday Rhythm Cups!

Since releasing the super popular Holiday Rhythm Cup Explorations, I’ve received many requests for Piano Tracks for Holiday Rhythm Cups. And it made me realize that in a perfect world, we would all have an intermediate student who could play the intermediate piano score perfectly while we help our students learn the cup tapping.

But this isn’t a perfect piano or music teaching world!

The problem with no piano tracks for Holiday Rhythm Cups

Here’s the issue:

  • copyrightWe want to be able to practice cup tapping with our students instead of playing the piano score.
  • We might not have any intermediate students available to play the piano part while we help the cup tappers.
  • We sometimes don’t have a piano in our school auditorium or recital venue! (For classroom teachers)
  • We want to send one level of students into the other room to practice Level 1 cup tapping of We Wish You a Merry Christmas while we work with Level 2.

And finally, the biggest problem is that:

  • WE LOVE CUP TAPPING! And we want to do the fun cup tapping sequences with our students sometimes instead of having to play the piano music while they have all the fun!

You are Musician, Not a Magician!

Right? Silly me in thinking that you would be able to sit at the piano and play while also helping especially your young piano students cup tap! But, I finally carved out the time to create:

Piano Tracks for Holiday Rhythm Cups Available!

Yes! Now, for about the price of a Grande Skinny Peppermint Mocha at Starbucks, you can get the solution to this issue. And it won’t add any pounds to your waistline at Christmas. Plus, you can use it year after year after year!

piano tracks for holiday rhythm cupsI’ve recorded the piano parts of the three songs in Holiday Rhythm Cup Explorations and you can get them as as set of downloadable mp3s! Each song contains a:

  • Slow track
  • Moderate track
  • Zippy track

And remember that each of the three pieces in Holiday Rhythm Cup Explorations contains 3 different levels of cup tapping sequences that are composed specifically for that piece of music. So for example, you can have your late intermediate students do the Deck the Hall piece this year and your elementary students do it next year and your intermediate students do it the year after that! Plus there are 2 other pieces as well! What are the tracks like?

And here are some more powerful features of the piano tracks for Holiday Rhythm Cups:

  • A recording of the piano score for each piece
  • 3 tempos for each piece
  • A little silent space at the beginning so you don’t miss that count off
  • Two measures of count off before you begin the cup tapping sequences
  • VERY clear downbeats (these are louder so students know exactly where they are)

Samples:

All audio files include a 2 measure count off and then 4 measures of metronome to help students stay together in the cup tapping introduction. You will hear 6 measures of metronome before the piano enters.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas, fast tempo ⇑

Joy to the World, fast tempo ⇑

Deck the Hall, fast tempo ⇑

Slower Tempos Included!
