Published by Mayron Cole Music Conservatory, Inc. (YC.CCMCCCD).Christmas Collection Menehune: Mayron used the story of Christ's birth as recorded in the book of Luke to create a Christmas book that reflects the holiness of Christmas for your pre-staff note reading beginners. A narration weaves together traditional carols and some new original carols with great, singable melodies. This book makes a beautiful "end of the fall semester" performance for parents. Includes beautiful teacher accompaniments. Fifteen Pre-Level 1 solos with large notes for easy reading: "Little Gray Donkey," "Knock! Knock! Knock!," "Softly, Softly!," "Silent Night," "Dark Night," "O Little Town," "Joy to the World," "We Three kings," "Starlight," "I'll Bring A Gift," "Away in a Manger," "Ding! Dong!," ""Noel," "Finale," "We Wish You A Merry Christmas." Please note that Level 1 students who are reading beginner staff notes should use the Christmas Collection Level 1 book (item CC1). (This operetta has same music as the Christmas Collection Level 1 book. You can combine your MENEHUNE classes with your LEVEL 1 classes for a large, ensemble performance. Put two/three children on each keyboard! Both books follow identical melodic lines.)
Mayron's Tips for Teachers: An alternative to staging a play is to have your students learn all the sheet music and perform the compositions for their parents on the last lesson of the course. You or a student can narrate the story. Consider using hats for costumes and playing recital at the keyboards in your studio!
