holidays

I've been swamped, as I'm sure you have too, with preparing for the holidays.  Lots of concerts, lots of lessons before we run into the school break, lots of online shopping (fits my hours).  So, where can we cram in some fun for US?  Well, I"m hoping to get more fun play on the bass during this holiday break, and wanted to share a little music with you all.  This is some carols, transcribed in keys that work well, and I've made some easier and harder versions to keep my students going while we're apart.  I tend to give the harder ones out to even younger students because they will be curious and check them out.  They come back with questions like "how do you read treble clef?" and "where is THAT harmonic?"  I don't expect my students to really learn all these carols, but I figure they just might get bored with the wii or want to escape all the adult company for a little while, and sometimes you need a puzzle to keep you occupied.

Enjoy!  Eat, drink and play bass!
