Big Bonuses with this Bundle!
This January, February, March bundle is studio licensed which means you only need to purchase it one time and you can print any of these three pieces for as many students as you directly teach. This lasts for your entire lifetime of teaching!
Your purchase of this bundle also includes:
- Mp3 performance tracks of each of the pieces. You may send these to your students to help them learn the piece.
- Diane Hidy’s Teaching Tips (see below)
- Master It Faster™ Files (see below) – You may send or print these for your students.
What are the Teaching Tips and “Master it Faster” Bonuses?
Diane is a master pedagogue and her teaching tips are brilliantly simple but applicable to these pieces and many others. With the purchase of this bundle, you will receive Diane Hidy’s Teaching Tips for all three pieces and you will find yourself learning all kinds of teaching techniques you can apply to many other pieces.
The Master It Faster™ files are individual, distraction-free PDFs that isolate the specific motives so that students can master the motives first. These motives are referenced in Diane’s Teaching Tips and this special handout helps students actually remember the special ways of practicing that help them Master It Faster™!
What is the Studio License?
January Song is delivered digitally (through your email receipt) and is studio licensed. This means that you can print and use this for any student that you directly teach for your entire lifetime of teaching.

I have been purchasing the month songs starting in October and now my students ask when they get to play new month piece. Fun to do
Patricia Cook –
These are wonderful ! My students love the month songs with their eye catching covers, especially the Master it Faster tips. One student told me the tips make the song easier to learn. We’re excitedly awaiting the April, May, June bundle. Maybe Diane would consider creating a reproducible sheet (like the cover on her actual book) that could be used as a divider in their binders for the series of month songs.

Diane Hidy’s “Months Songs Bundle” pieces will provide a “high point” in my studio’s spring playing.
I plan to have them played by 3 different students as a “suite” – having assigned each piece – written in a distinctive style – to a student it suits best.
The learning tips (included in the bundle) are fun and invaluable aids in learning these pieces. The technique involved in each one can often be useful in the learning of other pieces. They are valuable teaching techniques.
I have used many of Diane’s Month’s Songs in past years – but have found that the pieces in the bundle now introduced are brand new arrangements – more complex and challengingly “jazzed up” for more fun for both students and audience.
I highly recommend them!
Heather Revell –
My students are really enjoying the month songs. The Master It Faster sheets are excellent builders for them to prepare for the patterns in these songs and make it easier to learn the pieces. Great songs. Thankyou
Kerri –
These are beautifully written and well thought out. Excellent pieces and fun to play!
Melissa Toedtman –
The February Song is truly magical in that it captures the imagination and gives students a feeling of expressive mastery right down to the beautiful glissando at the end.
Melissa Toedtman –
The March Song has become a favorite with every student who has played it. The carefully placed fingerings and pedal markings add an element of ease which students love.
