Practice Tips for Joy to the World Intermediate Piano Solo

This arrangement is all about building in excitement. While it begins rather simply, every verse progresses with a key change and also more complex-sounding patterns.

Gauge what will be the most challenging for your student: right hand broken sixteenth notes (page 3), right hand chords (pages 6-7), or left hand octaves (pages 4-7) and encourage extra practice there.

It is highly important to keep a relaxed hand position even though the music builds in intensity. Focus on relaxation techniques.
