This year my students prepared Christmas Duets to share. They learned how to turn pages for each other and a lot about playing in an ensemble. They also each prepared a piece by J.S. Bach for the Christmas Recital.
Bach wrote much of his music for church and his music is very difficult to learn and it was rewarding to watch the students as they worked hard to turn the notes into beautiful music. The music of Bach, a Christian who believed that God gave him his talents and music to write, was perfectly paired with the Christmas music.
