New Sacred Christmas Piano Solo: The Birthday of the King
December 22nd, 2023A last minute piano solo Christmas arrangement for the early advanced church pianist.
Sorry for the late post due to me getting the flu. Thankful for God’s healing.
Sacred Christmas Vocal Special: Hallelujah Christ is Born!
December 14th, 2023This has become my favorite Christmas vocal solo. My Dad wrote this at least ten years ago.
I like the minor key for the verses with a great story line about God’s birth to his death followed by a triumphant chorus proclaiming “Hallelujah! Christ is Born!”
Our men of the choir really like singing this piece!
Easy-Piano-Christmas Congregationals-Late-Elementary
November 21st, 2023Last year, I wrote out the following arrangements for my late elementary to early intermediate student who covered for me while I was out of town on a Sunday.
I created arrangements that would be easy for my student to learn in time to play. The student I’m speaking about is our Pastor’s daughter. She is now a true early intermediate and enjoys taking part in our music ministry. I’m excited with her progress! Would love to share what all she’s been doing but will save that for her interview after Thanksgiving.
Each of these arrangements include an introduction. The songs are also in a lower key for the benefit of our congregation. Our congregation sings out SO much more when we lower the hymns. These arrangements can be used for piano solos or congregational singing!
