Patriotic Piano Ensemble: EASY!

Thursday, June 22nd, 2023

I know….should have already published this one.  I intentionally created this piano trio to be easy to learn in a short while.

Piano One has been a solo in my studio for a couple of years and I decided to create two other piano parts to give piano one

a little more support! I’ve provided the entire audio of this patriotic piano trio.

 

My Country Tis of Thee PIANO TRIO
Easy patriotic piano trio for the amateur pianist. Consists of two verses and special ending. Minimal practice time needed! I wrote this for an easy ensemble piece. Piano One (late beginner) Piano Two: Early Intermediate, Piano Three: Early intermediate. *Hear the complete audio.
Price: $5.00

My Dad

Thursday, December 22nd, 2022

This is our first Christmas without my Dad.  He’s with Jesus, the Savior of the world. WHAT a thot!

One of my fondest memories as a young girl was singing around the piano with family & friends at this time of year.

As the years passed, fewer times like this ever happened.  I cherish the few times we did get together around the piano in later years.

Here’s one of those recent times from about a year ago…one of the last times I played for my Dad here on this earth.

I cann0t play this song now without hearing my Dad pour his heart and soul into every word about his dear Savior!

Dad always sang… as though he were speaking.

I’m so thankful to my parents for exposing me to godly music during my upbringing.

Piano Lamp Search!

Monday, August 1st, 2022

I’m trying to find a clamp on piano lamp for our grand piano at church.

I’ve looked on Amazon’s site thus far. (I like having the option to plug it in.)

Any church pianist have a suggestion for a good performing piano lamp of this nature?

The only downside to clamp on lamps…they block my view of the song leader and sometimes the special depending where they are on stage.

 

 

Free Easy Vocal Piano Arrangement: Redeemed!

Wednesday, July 28th, 2021

I’m always writing music for someone or an event.  Here’s an arrangement I happened across today.

This particular hymn, Redeemed, is an old hymn that contains a fairly narrow note range…making it easier to sing.

I wrote this arrangement for another pianist to use when accompanying my youngest son with his wife and son.

The pianist said it worked well for her.  She also mentioned that the original key of the song was a little too high for my grandson.

So….of course Grandma had to write it in a more comfortable key.  I wrote it in the key of  G Major… just a little lower than the original key.

I also tried to adhere to the original chording so my daughter-in-law could sing the written alto from the hymnal.

See video below of the free arrangement for “Redeemed”
