Thanks! This is just want I’ve been looking for!
Sweet! Glad it was good timing!
I love your list of resources! It includes some of my tried and true favorites, but also some new ideas I hadn’t seen before. I just added a link to your Spooky Classical Music Videos to my Halloween Piano Teacher Resource List. There are so many fun piano teaching options for Halloween its hard to pick which “treat” to use so I let me students surprise me each year with the “Don’t Scare Me! Surprise Me Challenge.”
