Practice Tips for Christ the Lord is Risen Today Early Intermediate Piano Solo Sheet Music

The temptation may be to take this piece too quickly, but remind the student to play it at a tempo they can keep up with. 

The rests and staccatos are very important in this arrangement. Be sure the student has complete silence and doesn’t hold notes over the rests and has a nice, sharp staccato.

If the student struggles with the syncopation in measures 35-38, I have found it beneficial to draw straight lines between the staves to show where the RH and LH interplay.
