As the festive week approaches, I’m delighted to offer my readers a little Christmas gift. This well-known piece hailing from one of the most popular Christmas ballets, The Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky, is a trio (six hands at one piano) arranged by composer and publisher Elena Cobb for elementary players. It would be perfect for a teacher and two young (or older!) students, and is ideal for a Christmas party or concert, or simply used as a ‘first ensemble’ piece. Part 1 (top part/treble) is intended for elementary players, part 2 (middle), late elementary, and the 3rd part (bottom/bass), for primary players.
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy can be downloaded for free until Monday night (British time). You can also sign up for updates on Elena’s website (she offers a wide range of educational piano music from beginners to advanced music) and then you’ll automatically receive 50 loyalty points (50p), which works as a discount when purchasing from her site (there’s complimentary shipping for UK customers too).
Download and listen to Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy here.
