The Musica de Navidad series by Wynn-Anne Rossi introduces students to the rhythms, styles, and musical characteristics of Latin American music while exploring the holiday traditions of this part of the world. Each piece begins with a short rhythm exercise that prepares students for the rhythm patterns featured in the arrangement. Brief descriptions of Latin American Christmas traditions help to spark the imagination of the performers.
