Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Explorations contains all the fun of Rhythm Cup Explorations AND the excitement of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker! This is the ultimate recital and group lesson experience for both students and parents. Everyone will love the beautiful cup-tapping choregraphy, the fun arrangement, and the beautifully orchestrated accompaniment tracks!
What’s included in Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Explorations?
Included in this package is a 48 page PDF that contains mid to late intermediate piano arrangements of these pieces:
- March
- Waltz of the Flowers
- Trépak
In addition, for each of the arrangements in Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Explorations®, there are 4 levels of cup-tapping choreography:
- Level A (this coincides with My First Rhythm Cup Explorations level)
- Level 1 (elementary)
- Level 2 (late elementary to early intermediate)
- Level 3 (mid to late intermediate)
Plus, there are 18 orchestration tracks:
- 9 tracks with piano (each piece at 3 different tempos)
- 9 tracks without piano (each piece at 3 different tempos)
How can I use Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Explorations?
You can use these for recitals, school music programs, private lessons (it’s even fun to do these just with a teacher and student), group lessons, and holiday parties! The tracks that include the piano mean that you don’t even have to play the piano part! You can just cup tap with your students and even perform it in auditoriums that don’t have a piano or the piano is horribly out of tune!
The cup-tapping choreography for each level of Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Explorations® is specifically composed to compliment the arrangement. However, multiple levels aren’t intended to be performed simultaneously. So for example, if you are performing March, you should only choose say, Level 2, to perform with the piano and/or tracks. You wouldn’t have one set of students doing Level 2 and another set doing Level 3 at the same time. Because each level is different, it allows you lots of ways to vary the performance year after year!
Bonus Demo Videos
You’ll also receive access to videos for every level of Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Explorations® that demonstrates all the cup tapping techniques. You can use this to learn them yourself or to inspire your students to what they CAN do! These demo videos are performed with the fastest track, so you’ll need to practice at a slower tempo. But these will give you a beautiful goal and idea of what each cup tapping technique looks like.

⭐️⭐️⭐️Be prepared for your students’ eyes to light up!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is one of my favorites EVER of Wendy’s creations! I am so delighted with the energy and fun that this is bringing to my studio already!
2 things that I have already noticed–
1–Almost everyone recognizes the songs from the Nutcracker (not true of students for other holiday music necessarily). This creates INSTANT buy-in!
2–This makes learning dynamics FUN and exciting! I got so many giggles working on the March Level A and Level 1 when doing the crescendoes.
Thank you so much Wendy for making this dream come to life! The videos demonstrating the dance moves are wonderful to show the students and help make the symbols clear in a way that no other resource could have. The whole package is perfection!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Chris Coy –
My high school kids are LOVING the Nutcracker! I teach class piano and show choir.
Brooke Browning –
Every level of kid and adult in my studio is loving these. Not only are they fun, but for some students its a way to learn rhythm and “play” nutcracker music beyond their level!
Students are laughing and having a blast, cups are flying. Its just perfect 🙂
jqcalvo –
My 2nd grade student was having so much fun she was really bummed when I said we were done for the day! She had just finished “My First Rhythm Cup Exploration” so this was perfect for the season!
You need to get this now!
Cindy –
I used Nutcracker Cup Tapping in my Christmas recital this year, and it was a huge hit with both the students and the parents! One of the ones I did was the highest level for Waltz of the Flowers. The audience was highly amused with the turn and triplet combo. Wonderful job! I’ll be using this again!
Lisa Schuler –
I’m on day two of this week’s group lessons before the holiday break. The Nutcracker rhythm cup music is a hit with 3 groups so far!
Janelle Bracken –
The Nutcracker Cup Tapping is SO much fun! My students have been trying to teach their non-piano student siblings how to do it and having much laughter and giggles, according to the reports I receive. 😃
I just did Trepak with a mother and daughter who are taking piano. Daughter had taught mom, who started a few months after daughter, how to do the cups, read the key, etc. We all did Level 1 of Trepak at the fastest tempo within the last hour. Such fun! Making memories!
Edna –
The March Level A worked beautifully for our on-line Nutcracker Activity Day. I think we’ve started a studio holiday tradition that will grow right along with these kids.
Judy Horne –
We did the cup tapping from Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Explorations at our recital this year. Had placed 5 tables end-to-end, and printed the rhythm charts for each student. This happened at the end of the recital, so kids were really pumped to do this together. Since this was our first time in a group to accomplish this, I took the A sections of March and Trepak. I had ages 4-20 participating. Lots of giggles from students and audience. At the end of the last song, the cups were tossed up in the air! The audience excitedly applauded and you could just feel the excitement in the room (church sanctuary). YOU made me look good!
Peggy –
My kids positively love the Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Explorations. Thank you for being so creative.
Ruth –
My students had such fun performing March Level 1 and Trepak Level 2 at the start and end of their Christmas Concerts.
It was a brilliant way to bring students together and added a brightness to the concerts. Many parents commented on how much they enjoyed watching the students perform the pieces. I’m going to teach my family when we gather for Christmas.
Wanda –
We used all levels of the Nutcracker March Rhythm Cup Tapping at our four groups – one of each level. My high school class probably had the most fun!
Toni –
We alternated between music and small groups doing the Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Explorations® at this years’ recital. The parents loved the piano playing, but they were so enthusiastic about the rhythm cup tapping. Several commented about how the students had been teaching the parents how to do the rhythm cups at home. The parents had already loved hearing the hooting owl, howling coyote, and jumping Mr Wallaby from Menagerie.
The orchestration is of the highest quality and the movements are challenging but fun and engaging—I love the twisting at the end of level 1 Trepak! Our students are reading notation with eyes on music, keeping a steady beat, and have improved eye-hand coordination. When we walk them back to class they are humming March or Trepak as we walk down the hall!
The Nutcracker Rhythm Cups has been worth every penny I paid when purchasing it. I know I will enjoy it for years to come, too!
Cristy Coates –
A delightful collection from a favourite Christmas suite!
Every level of student had something fun and engaging to work with, be it music reading for more advanced musicians, or rhythm reading for all levels.
The variety of rhythm cup actions proved a recipe for fun, and it was appreciated that each level built on the number of actions students needed to remember. The way the actions integrate with the melodic structure is seamless, and the addition of dynamics truly lets participants feel as if they are playing the music, not simply keeping a beat or clapping a rhythm.
To this end, having not just scaffolded levels of rhythm cup music to work with, but also three levels of recorded tempo variations- with and without piano parts- gave students endless joy in upskilling opportunities.
Once introduced, my students asked for these cracker learning activities every lesson. We even used it as a finale celebration for our end of year concert!
Highly recommended.
Heather –
My students had a Wow of a time with Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Explorations. They loved the behind the back tapping, swirls and twirls and sliding.
Many cups were damaged in the production of these tunes such was the enthusiasm of students.
Jane B (from the UK) –
I LOVE the Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Explorations – I used them with piano students and especially with my musicianship students. At present, I have only been doing the easiest level but they have reinforced rhythmic skills, control of dynamics and listening skills.
Well done, Wendy for producing such an amazing resource. I know it was not easy to produce.
Nina –
This was the best purchase I could have made at Christmas. All my piano students loved it and have been asking for it again in January! Fabulous resource.
Laura –
These are so much fun! This was a perfect activity to do in lessons after our holiday recital. All my students, young and old, loved working on these songs. Wendy, We’re ready for more! Thank you!
Margaret Fontiveros –
This was a huge hit this year with my students of all levels at our holiday group lessons. I had purchased and used the original holiday cups several years ago and was excited to see The Nutcracker release this year. We did the March song this year and plan on using Trepak next year!! Love that there are different ability levels so it can be equally enjoyed with my 5 to 7 year old group as it is with my 12-16 year olds!
Nancy –
Wendy has done it again….delivering a resource that kids absolutely LOVE !! Some of my students told me that they had never had so much fun with Christmas music and were sorry when we put it away till next year. They made me promise to bring the Nutcracker Rhythm Cups out extra early in 2022 !!
Sharon B. Girard, NCTM –
My studio ranges in age from 6 years old to 80 years old. The Nutcracker Rhythm Cups were a hit for EVERYONE! The adults did level one of the March and were just so delighted to have so much fun with such a familiar holiday favorite. My school aged students loved practicing and playing with the tracks in their lessons. For our December Repertoire Class I used all the levels for the Trepak.We all began with the Level A and it was so much fun for students trying to learn the next level up on their own! Lots of giggles and lots of great rhythms mastered. Everyone is already looking forward to the next year!
Peggy –
Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Explorations made lessons preceding Christmas a joy for all of my students ages 6 – 60. We only used them during lesson time. Sometimes it was just the student and teacher. Other times sibling worked together. I even had students do the various levels at the same time. It was so much fun. The tracks were terrific to use. I am not up to date in the area of tech, but my memo recorder on my phone did a great job. I am starting small group classes roughly every other month (yikes) and I am looking forward to learning your newest cup tapping song as well as purchasing America the Beautiful and Take Me Out to the Ball Game. Thank you doesn’t seem adequate for your work to create these really fun songs to supplement learning rhythms. Thanks Wendy!
Linda Lightsey –
I used Trepak from the Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Explorations for an ensemble activity at the end of our Christmas recital. Everyone loved it, especially the students! It was fun, entertaining, and it kept everyone there until the end! 🤗
We will be doing more cup tapping in future recitals!
Kim Oien –
So fun! My kids loved doing a song they recognized, and even an adult wanted to participate. The different levels are so useful, and the students were so proud when they could do the harder levels. Wonderful product!
Debbie –
Great job. Nutcracker Rhythm Cups is perfect for working through complex rhythms.
Shana J Grassi –
I tried the Nutcracker Cups exercises with some of my students this holiday season and they all loved them. The favorite is “March”. They love when I challenge them to play with the faster accompaniment tracks. The entire Rhythm Cup Series is a game changer in every piano studio.
Stephanie Alley –
This worked wonders for my beginner piano class. Some new students only had 2-3 classes before the recital and were still able to participate with the rhythm cups.
Stephanie –
Fantastic way to get your beginning high school students engaged! I teach class piano at a large private high school. We wanted to showcase our entire Fine Arts department in one Christmas extravaganza. The Nutcracker rhythm cups made it possible for all of my piano students to participate. In the end, the students gained a greater understanding of more advanced rhythms and an appreciation for playing in ensembles. This was by far a crowd pleaser as well! Everyone wanted to try to “play” the cups after the program. I hope Wendy releases more rhythm cup books soon – maybe pop songs??? (hint hint)
Brooke –
If you want an activity to make students excited to learn rhythm, grab this! My students would ask me each week leading up to Christmas, to please do the Nutcracker Rhythm Cups! It is great for any age and level as there are so many options of levels and songs. In fact, Christmas is over, but these are totally not! My students are still requesting them. Luckily I also have many of her other fun rhythm cups so we have so many fun options.
Julie –
My students enjoyed the Nutcracker Rhythm Cups during the Christmas season. This was the first time I had used the rhythm cups. It was easy for me to figure out, and the kids loved that they recognized the music. We performed it at our Christmas recital!
Dorothy Kelly –
At the end of my Christmas Recital this year I used Wendy’s Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Explorations. The parent LOVED that part of the program and the students had so much fun doing it. We had played Nutcracker duets at the last Christmas recital so everyone was familiar with it. And then, we ended with We Wish You a Merry Christmas rhythm cups. I passed out cups to the parents and all attending. What fun they had playing a cup duet with the students. One parent took off and made his own rhythm–what a super way to end a great recital and even make it greater! Thanks, Wendy!!
Nancy –
All of Wendy’s resources are top notch! Even with online lessons, these pieces were not only educational, but entertaining! My students loved them!
Mary –
The nutcracker rhythm cup exploration is a wonderful experience for students and teachers. Although I only had time to explore a couple of pieces this Christmas I plan to do all of them possibly even this summer. It is a great exercise that the students enjoy and admit to learning from and I highly recommend that you just have fun with it.
Even students who struggled somewhat are anxious to try again. It is well thought out and definitely a fun experience. Thank you Wendy for producing this.
Philippa Ashfield –
This is a genius way to teach rhythm and improve sight reading and have a wonderful time enjoying this beautiful music. I especially like the fact that it is can be used at Christmas but also all year round. Many thanks Wendy
Terri –
The Nutcracker Rhythm Cups are fantastic! I teach mostly teens/older beginners and was so surprised at how quickly they engaged! We practiced all 4 levels during private lessons for 3 weeks before our group lesson. One of my 17 year old guys could not quit talking about how much fun he was having. At our group lesson we set up 2, 6 foot tables side by side in my living room. We formed a circle around the tables and it was a blast. But wait, there’s more! It’s sometimes hard to get teens to clap rhythms, but now everyone is good and comfy with “plastics cups.” So, with a lapboard or a book across our laps we use 2 cups, one for treble clef and one for bass clef. The benefits continue and we can’t wait to do another rhythm cup piece!
Thank you Wendy for creating fresh and incredible new ways for us to energize and inspire our students today.
Diane Wilson –
This was a hit at our Christmas concert for all levels of students, particularly the Waltz of the Flowers! I introduced the charts at the October group lesson, and students were ready to perform by early December!
Juyne Sauer –
I love the Nutcracker Rhythm Cups. It is a super way to get kids involved in music everyone loves! The piano accompaniments are the best!
If you haven’t tried cups this is an awesome first experience.
Teresa –
My students were more stimulated by the Nutcracker’s March than any activity we have ever done. Due to several weeks off when I broke my arm we never got to the other tunes but this one was a big hit in the December group lesson as well as private lessons.
LJ –
Absolutely fabulous. All my students; young and old love it. Everything Wendy and co produce is fantastic and this is one of the best. I can’t wait for more in the future.
Rebecca –
Eleven of my younger students performed the “March” at their December recital. It was a home run! The kids had a blast and are looking forward to learning “Hava Nagila” for the spring recital!
Mei –
As usual my students have lots of fun with your Nutcracker Rhythm Cups👍🏻!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful writings, I loved all these pieces!
I actually took the opportunity to go through Tchaikovsky Nutcracker Ballet with my students (Christmas December) and after the music appreciation class they get to play Rhythm cups with the music they have heard from the Ballet:)).
I gave them coloured cups and let them guess which coloured cup they will end up with…hahaha….it was fun!!
Teri –
We actually did this at a Christmas recital! The younger students played “level 1” with green cups, and the older students played “level 2” with red cups. It was a big hit!
Carol L Hibbard –
We loved this! I used it during private lessons for holiday fun. Everyone immediately could sing along with “table table, tap tap”, being familiar with the melodies. My beginner group performed the March at Level 1 for our recital and it was a great hit. Thank you Wendy for arranging these timeless melodies with cup rhythms to bring smiles and learning and fun together!
Heidi Wiens –
Since I couldn’t take my students to the ballet again this year, these rhythm cups pieces were a fun way for the kids to become familiar with the music and have fun doing it. They love doing rhythm cups and even my uninspired students are trying to read the music. I’m using them in classes of 22. We are going through a lot of solo cups!
Julie –
Nutcracker Rhythm Cups were so much fun at my Holiday groups! I may have enjoyed it more than the students!!
Julie Gensmer
Linda Carpenter –
My students had such a fun time doing these rhythms at our December group lessons. They loved the challenge of increasing the speed or doing a harder level. A big success!!
gretajsmusic –
I teach piano as well as 1st-6th music and decide to use this with my music students. They loved it! It was a very fun way to close out the semester before Christmas. The directions were so clear that I had no trouble teaching the classes, and they caught on very quickly, thanks Wendy!
Judy Foulston –
The week before Christmas break, I told my students that we would have a piano party for our lesson. From the youngest to the oldest, we all did the Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Explorations. They LOVED it. On my first week back after Christmas break, many students said “Are we doing the Nutcracker again?” Thank you soooo much for creating these fun activities.
marian –
This is a total delight! Wonderful to see kids and adults have a ball as they learn. Everyone recognized some section of the NUTCRACKER but it was great fun to expand their experience. Teachable moment! This will change your celebration of the holidays!
Justyna –
I used the Nutcracker for my holiday recital this year. I had 3 groups. Elementary, junior high school and high school students performing. We performed all 3 pieces. It was a great and very special treat for my audience.
Definitely a keeper !
Thank you so much !
Mindy Andes –
I scheduled a Christmas Nutcracker Rhythm Cup Bash the second Sunday in December. My students worked on the March and Trepak songs, each at their individual level, for about 3-4 weeks prior to the event. On the day of the Bash, I had scheduled 3 level time slots, each an hour long. Students joined others at their level to perform the Nutcracker Rhythm Cup music. After they did the March and Trepak with background tracks, they sightread the Dance of the Flowers. It was SO much fun! Numerous parents stayed and enjoyed watching their child go thru the 3 famous Christmas songs. Everyone had a blast!!
Debbie –
Oh my gosh! My students loved the Nutcracker! They love all the Rhythm Cup activities and ask for them all the time, but this one is over the top. I highly recommend adding this to your “bag of tricks!”
Shelly –
My students absolutely ADORED all three of the Nutcracker pieces! They performed “March” at our Christmas recital and brought down the house! Thanks so much, Wendy, for your talent and dedication to help us become better teachers!
Mary A Smith –
I grouped all my elementary and middle school students into groups of five-six by their piano lesson experience. We worked on their part individually at their lessons then with just a couple of run-throughs we were ready to perform for invited parents to our little Christmas party! I purchased an inexpensive nutcracker and started our performance off with a VERY brief history of the Nutcracker, its origin, etc. All of my students LOVED this activity!!
Kendra –
My students performed The March at our Christmas Recital. I divided my students into 3 levels, so that everyone could participate at their own competence. I placed the Level 3 students in the middle of the group.(spinning around was their favorite part!) My students were so excited to perform this as a rhythm cup piece, since almost everyone is familiar with the March music. Next Christmas I’ll be using the other 2 Nutcracker rhythm pieces. This is a tremendous resource.
Kirstan Hilton –
This was my first experience with Cup Explorations and it was a hit! I used it with my middle school band, orchestra, and ukulele classes before the holidays and the kids loved it. We made music stands into tables and it was very simple to set up. The instructions are easy to follow and challenging to carry out. But there are four levels to work through to build your skills. Great fun! You won’t be disappointed!
Rebekah Powell –
I used the Nutcracker Rhythm Cups at our church for our children’s choir. They enjoyed doing them so much! I enjoy that they are learning good rhythm while having fun!
Shauna Jones –
Using the Nutcracker rhythm cups was the highlight of our Christmas lessons! The accompaniment track really got us in the mood, and the cute and fancy cup choreography brought chuckles and smiles. It was something to look forward to all month!
Laura Blattner –
Nutcracker Rhythm Cups was was a smashing success at my holiday recital this past month! We started working on the routines at the end of October. I assigned one piece to each of my groups of students (grouped according to general age: elementary, middle school, high school). Students primarily practiced the tapping routines at home on their own (many of them could practice with a sibling) and with me at the end of a lesson in the weeks leading up to the recital. Because of the holidays, Covid restrictions, and rehearsal space availability, we were only able to actually practice all together one time, a week before the recital. SO, the performances weren’t perfect, but you could definitely tell which kids practiced more on their own and tapped with confidence (and which ones didn’t!) All in all, they really loved doing this–especially when I decided it would be fun to add a few props/costumes. The parents (and especially grandparents!) really loved this part of the recital, and it was a wonderful conclusion to all the holiday performances. Thanks for creating such a fun collection for rhythm cups. My students immediately asked if we would get to do it again next year!
Jeannine –
At Christmas time I had a combined recital and party for my piano students. We used your rhythm tracts for the Nutcracker March. I’m so glad that you included 3 different tempos for these tracks. I had students from 6 to 16 doing the rhythm cups. We had a lot of fun doing it! I plan to add Nutcracker rhythm cups to next year’s party/recital also (and perhaps every year!)
Lisa Schuler –
I used the Nutcracker Rhythm Cup music with my group lessons just before Christmas, from 2nd grade to 12th grade, and each level enjoyed them! When introducing it, many thought they didn’t know the Nutcracker music, until I played the tracks that go with the program. They all realized they knew it and they were excited to cup with it! Thank you so much for this new group activity I’ll bring out every year.
CynDee –
I have used the rhythm cups for about 10 years. They’re fun for beginners. This is my first time using the fully choreographed songs. I had a Master Class for Christmas in my studio. The elementary aged students did level A for all 3 songs, while the advanced students played the piano part. ( I encouraged the advancing students to do ensembles on the 2 digital piano I have, as well as the acoustic grand. We had lots of orchestration and a tempo that was flexible enough for even the youngest students to do the cups. ) All of the elementary students participated in the A level.
Then the advancing students did Level 3 for all 3 songs using the rhythm trax at the maximum tempo. They were thrilling!
The parents/families were watching from home on a ZOOM call as my studio isn’t large enough to accommodate an audience as well as all of the students. I rented tables, used Christmas table cloths and had Christmas cups.
It was so successful that I’ve ordered Hava Nagila for our recital in June.
Katie –
Great resource! I used “March” for my winter group lessons and the kids were excited because of the familiar tune. I gave students a packet with all 4 versions a few weeks before, made sure everyone could play Level A, and then gave the option for students to Level Up (show me they had mastery of a higher level) before the lesson. The students enjoyed the challenge and we had a blast at each group lesson with very little prep on my end.
At the group lesson while those who had leveled up played Level 2, I had my more beginning students on rhythm instruments (jingle bells, bass drum, maracas, finger cymbals) playing basic rhythm patterns so they could be the back up band and still participate while the other advanced students were showing off their cupping skills.
I’m excited to use this resource for years to come.
Marilyn –
I appreciated how easy it was to incorporate this Christmas activity into our lessons in late November and December. The students loved using the cups with these familiar, well-loved songs along with the orchestration. The choreography of the cups well-suited the energy and the form of these songs. Having the varied levels of difficulty made it accessible to all our students, even those with only 4 months of piano lessons. My students loved sharing this with their family and teaching them to do it with them.
Angie Marie Branch –
This one rocks! Was so much fun! Students loved it!
Michelle –
I hosted several Christmas Open Houses these last two weeks, where students and their families came to my home in small groups. We enjoyed some Christmas treats together, then all the students played one (or more) of their Christmas pieces. We ended the time together with Trepak cup tapping. I told the students in attendance that I gave them the easy version as I didn’t know what their parents could handle. Many asked if we could do it again!
Phyllis –
I loved the Nutcracker Rhythm Cups. We used them for several weeks in November and December. They worked great for the private on-line lessons and then we did them as a group at our December Piano On-line Party. The students really enjoyed them!!!! I had gotten a game – circles that had lots of different music symbols on each one plus different pictures from the Nutcracker. The idea was to find what matched on 2 of them. Tchaikovsky’s picture was a few of them and students didn’t know who that man was. So – that led into the month of January learning about Tchaikovsky – his life and listening to some of his other pieces. Such fun with the cups, game, music history and listening!!
A 5 year old student had so much fun with theThe Nutcracker Rhythm Cups as well!!! He loves doing behind the back and forehead – it is so cute watching him. We did it with 2 other students, ages 12 and 15 and we all had such a FUN time doing the Nutcracker Rhythm Cups together!!!
Julia –
My students thoroughly enjoyed learning this for our holiday recital. We performed all four parts together and it was a fun way to enthrall our audience as the final number. It’s a great way to introduce ensembles to students, as well. Thank you Wendy for another great product that our students enjoy!
Tiffany Baker –
I was super excited when I saw that Wendy Stevens had created a Cup exploration for the ‘Nutcracker.’ I just knew that my students were going to love it as much as I would – so I jumped in and bought it for my studio prior to the release date!
My main instrument is the harp. In my mid-teens, I had the opportunity to play the harp cadenza from Tchaikovsky’s ‘Waltz of the Flowers’ with three combined youth orchestras from different parts of New Zealand’s North Island, for a combined orchestra weekend.
When I introduced my students to the Nutcracker’s ‘March,’ I saw them all get very excited about it! We prepared this as a group rhythm-cup item and shared it with the harpists’ families and friends at our end-of-year concert.
Many thanks to Wendy Stevens for allowing us to share our performance on YouTube, so that other family and friends can see this amazing ‘Nutcracker’ choreography with other family and friends who could not be with us on our concert day. Here is the link to our performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1znCEgvuSH0
