Be sure to make time this holiday season to celebrate the accomplishments your child taking piano lessons has made over the past year. Take time to listen to them as they play before family and friends and in their holiday recitals. This is also a great time to take some special photographs of your child at the piano. Collect photos of previous years and arrange them in a holiday piano memory book as a unique Christmas gift for your child. Be sure to leave plenty of room to add future photographs so your piano student can continue to celebrate their piano journey as they grow.

Here are some things you can include in your childs Christmas at the Piano Memory Book.

1. Holiday Recital Photos.

2. Photos of special holiday celebrations at the piano with family and friends.

3. A list of your childs favorite holiday songs they have learned to play each year.

4. A page where your piano student can write personal notes about particular challenges they overcame learning their holiday music.

5. A page for your child write a few words about all they have learned in piano compared to what they were able to play the previous year.

6. And a place to write down their piano goals for the coming New Year.

Each year your child can look back at their special Christmas at the Piano Memory Book & Journal and look forward to adding new memories. This is an important activity as it brings perspective to your childs piano experience, and helps give them courage and strength to continue the journey.
