PPP270: Ten Wintery Pieces

Every tenth episode of the podcast, I offer you a list of ten somethings. On today’s show, I present to you a list of Ten Wintery Pieces.

Maybe your piano kid doesn’t enjoy playing holiday music. Maybe your piano kid has been playing Christmas since October and your whole house is ready to hear something different.

This list of ten pieces and songs has something for everyone at every skill level.
