Twelve Days of Drumming Ideas for the Holidays: Days 1 and 2
The well-known carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is a series of cumulative verses that list increasingly grand gifts given on each of the twelve days of Christmas. Take note that the 12th day isn't just 5 golden rings, it's twelve drummers drumming!
Nuts, Heather didn't make this pic but here's me with Marie Lee sporting our buckets and sticks AND our Let's Do This t-shirts.

This is the perfect segue into a reminder of a resource that is available here at the Piano Teacher Piano Center: Bucket Drumming for Piano Teachers compiled by Marie Lee, Heather Nanney and yours truly.
In honor of the upcoming holidays and the old English carol's tribute to drumming, Bucket Drumming for Piano Teachers will be on sale through the month of December.
How about red and green drum sticks? This could be a fun, electrifying twist to brighten up your holiday lessons. Use them in private lessons to review tricky rhythms in repertoire or let students take turn using them in a drum circle by passing them from one drummer to the next every 16 beats, then 8 beats, then 4 beats without dropping a beat!
