Easy-to-Learn Christmas Piano Arrangements

Sunday, September 15th, 2019

 

 

 

The following pieces are great easy-to-learn piano arrangements for students needing a recital piece or for beginning church pianists!

My students play two ensemble numbers in addition to a solo piece…so we don’t get too involved with just one piece.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Late elementary Christmas Piano Solo, 2 pgs. Easy-to-learn piece for recital or offertory
Price: $2.75

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Late beginner Christmas Piano Solo, 2 pgs. Easy-to-learn carol for recital or offertory.
Price: $2.00

Early Intermediate Christmas Piano Solo: O Come O Come Emmanuel

Friday, September 13th, 2019

I enjoy creating pieces with a certain student in mind. This particular piece goes to one of my older female students who enjoys playing songs in a minor key.

The idea for the introduction hit me as I laid down to sleep this past Wednesday.  I had to get up and write it down or the idea would have been history!

Even though I’m an advanced level pianist, I still enjoy playing this early intermediate arrangement of “O Come O Come Emmanuel”.

O Come O Come Emmanuel
Early intermediate Christmas piano solo, 2 pgs. A nice selection for Christmas recitals or offertory.
Price: $2.75

 

Christmas Piano Arrangements : NEW

Thursday, September 12th, 2019

Christmas Arranging Galore!

I just finished writing three Christmas piano arrangements today for several of my students!

I’ll publish them asap…hopefully by this weekend. The titles and levels are as follows:

O Little Town of Bethlehem (Late beginner)

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (late elementary)

O Come O Come Emmanuel (Early intermediate)

Also in the process of writing the teacher piano parts for two piano ensemble numbers for Christmas recital.

Piano ensemble numbers are getting popular with my bunch of students. They absolutely LOVE playing in a group setting!

They like it so much that now they have one group lesson rehearsal once a month now until Christmas recital! The titles are: “Jingle Bells” with bell ringing in couple places 🙂  Also..O Come All Ye Faithful (our grand finale number)

I’m REALLY in the writing mood here lately. Hopefully you’ll see the results soon!
