Swingin' Snowflakes | Jazzy Christmas Duet for Student and Teacher (Elementary)

Swingin' Snowflakes — Brock Chart

Swingin' Snowflakes is a fun, light jazz-style holiday duet for elementary students and their teachers. This one was inspired by the nostalgia of classic holiday movies but with a little swing. The student part is very pattern-based with shapes that stay close together on the keyboard and can be a great introduction to easy swing rhythms.

The teacher part is a blast to play too! The secondo adds the jazzy harmonies, walking bass, and swing feel that brings the whole piece to life. This duet is perfect for holiday recitals, studio parties, or just adding a little shimmer to lesson time. Have fun swinging through the season with this one!
