My young students LOVE the Halloween piece, Watch Out, Here I Come! We have had a blast performing it for their parents.
I have just assigned Up On the Housetop tp pne student this week, so not sure yet, but he was pretty excited about the glissandos!
Thank you for such fun pieces. It makes the students feel very successful!

My students LOVE, LOVE “Watch out Here I Come!” I’ve been using it in my group classes and when it gets to the part “Here I come!” They all start singing and knocking, as loud as they can. They love it!!! We’ll be performing it at our Halloween Recital, with some of the students doing the knocking on hand drums. It’s such a fun piece.

“Watch Out, Here I Come!” was a hit with early readers. I appreciate that the hand position changes slightly at the end, which forces the most beginning students to get out of their comfort zone. The “Up on the Housetop” Bundle is so convenient. I used all of the versions this year. Students who have not yet studied eighth notes can be easily introduced to the recurring rhythm in the song. It helps that they are familiar with the melody. As always, the glissandi are fun for all ages!
