Once a year about mid to late October I give my students Christmas books so they can start learning their Christmas music for our annual Christmas camp and/or music at the mall performance. While I like to give suggestions to what I think they would enjoy (or what I would really LOVE for them to play) I always have them make the final decision on what they would like to perform. It is inevitable that I will have a handful of students that want to play… can you guess it?

Yep! Jingle Bells!

But what if… you had a book that could make this “problem” into a fun solution! Jerald Simon did just that and recently released a super fun book called, “Jingle Those Bells” “Jingle Those Bells” features 7 fun arrangements of Jingle Bells.

The Jingle Bells variations range from Ballad, Pop, Rock, New Age, Boogie Woogie, Blues and broken Russian!

Wouldn’t it be fun to do a Jingle Bell recital? Or maybe a Jingle Bell showdown performance. So many fun possibilities. Jingle Those Bells is for the intermediate to advance student. You can see previews of each piece plus download a sample copy of Jingle Those Bells over at Music Motivation.

Because of all the fun ideas spinning in my head now, I am hoping Jerald does some elementary variations too!

You can watch Jerald playing all the pieces in Jingle Those Bells over on YouTube.
