It's Almost That Wonderful Time of the Year!

Yes, it is December already and exactly 19 days 'til Christmas!

Some teachers (me included) would have started raising to our students the yearly question that is, "which Christmas song would you like to learn before Christmas this year?!"

In one of my other blog posts ("5 Things to Consider Before and After Starting Piano Lessons"), I talked about the importance of having students be connected to and engaged in music outside of their lessons and practice times.

So I thought I'd do a slightly different post for this one and share with you 20 Christmas songs (classic and contemporary) which I think is pretty awesome!
