I’m not sure how each and every webinar fills me with excitement, time after time, but they do! The Special Collections Music and Ideas webinar is no different. These new releases are so useful, fun, and exciting, that it’s my pleasure to share them with you!
There’s so much to share including new music, new physical products, new organizational ideas, and more! Read to the bottom to make sure you see it all!
Two New Little Fuzzies Pieces:
Adding to the hit series Little Fuzzies makes perfect sense – we want MORE fun and joy in piano lessons, and these adorable creatures are always up to something! Here’s what’s being released on February 18 at the Special Collections Music and Ideas webinar:
Two New Little Fuzzies pieces:
Fuzzy Pirates: Arrr! The Fuzzies have taken to pirating, matey! Maybe you figured it out from the “easter egg” Wendy put on the cover of Healing Hacks! This elementary solo tells about the Fuzzies’ plans to adventure on the open seas – and the surprising reason why they can’t go through with it!
Birthday Blooper: The Little Fuzzies are throwing you a party! Hooray! Celebrate with this elementary piece that details all the happy festivities, despite a couple Fuzzy-style bloopers! We know this piece will be used many times in your studio!
New Achievement Card Sets!
By popular request, Wendy has designed and created new Music Achievement Cards for our early elementary and elementary Short Sheets®!
These collections are especially exciting because not only do they include an Achievement Card for each of the 3 pieces within the set, but there’s also a bonus card for the set! So each set of Short Sheets® comes with 4 cards.
Your students will be inspired by the engaging inspiration and backstories from the composer. Your students will want to collect them all!
Little Fuzzies Achievement Card Update
And of course, since we have two new Little Fuzzies pieces, we’ve updated the Little Fuzzy Cards. If you already own these, just log into your account to download the new ones.
If you don’t own these already, they are currently on sale!
New Little Fuzzies Physical Products
A New Fuzzies Sticker Design!
A Little Fuzzies birthday sticker is hitting ComposeCreate® shelves! We’re stocking slightly more birthday stickers than usual, but you won’t want to wait – these sell out at lightning speed!
Restocked Fuzzy Piano Stickers
We’ve also restocked the popular Little Fuzzy piano sticker which has sold out twice now! Be sure to get these ASAP if you want them.
Little Fuzzies Habitat Idea:
We’re not selling this, but we’re sharing a special idea from a creative piano student at the Special Collection Music and Ideas webinar that’s sparking a Little Fuzzies “home-building” spree! This craft activity is perfect for piano parties and group lessons.
New Little Fuzzy Practice Pals:
Wow, the Fuzzies have come to life! Get your studio a set of 3 handmade Little Fuzzy Practice Pals that will forever replace elves on shelves for a more piano-centric practice buddy. These are extremely limited, made by hand, and educational!
Little Fuzzy Practice Pals make great:
- Practice Pals – Students can move one fuzzy from the right to left side of the piano every time they practice a section correctly. The goal is to move all 3 so that they practice the section at least 3 times accurately.
- Impartial audience – Amanda wrote about how helpful it is to have the Fuzzies giving the feedback on a piece instead of always the teacher. You can learn that students actually notice in their own playing this way!
- Recital preparation – The eyes of the Fuzzies on the top of the piano make a great audience for students practicing to play in front of an audience.
- Studio decorations & Surprises – Dress your Fuzzies up in birthday hats for students birthdays and other fun surprises!
New Teaching and Leveling Guides:
Little Fuzzies Teaching Guide:
We created a brand new Little Fuzzies Teaching Guide that will help you know the relative order of pieces by level and also what the challenges are in each piece. Wendy has also provided teaching tips for many of the pieces!
New Tune Up Tunes® Teaching Guide:
The new Tune Up Tunes® Guide will help you know the relative order of sets by level and it will also help you understand that concept that is being “tuned up” in each level.
Updated Short Sheets® Teaching Guide:
The free Short Sheets® guide is a great way to see the general order of pieces and see what the basic elements are in each piece like hand position, rhythms, etc.
These Teaching Guides will be updated periodically as more pieces come out. You’ll be able to download the new guide any time there’s an update. Be sure you are logged in when you get the $0 guides so that you can easily find them in your account!
All of these are COMPLETELY FREE!
NFMC 2024-2028 Choice Pieces & New Sacred Music:

Achievement Card Organization Idea
Wendy shared an idea for organizing Music Achievement Cards that was shared with her by Andrea Zimmerman! These “top-load” baseball card holders make a great way to organize your cards and also keep them on display for students.
From new Little Fuzzies pieces and products, to sacred music, to “at-a-glance” summaries of popular ComposeCreate® series, the Special Collections Music & Ideas webinar was created to help you flourish and save you planning time! Leave us a comment to let us know what you think about it all – we LOVE to hear from you!
