(Sunshine is the other pianist at our church). It’s so nice to have two of us working together.  This piano duo arrangement could be considered late intermediate to early advanced.

Once again, I had one of my piano friends, Beth Fox, record it with me during a recent visit.

 I enjoyed arranging this piano duo arrangement of “Since I Have Been Redeemed“.   We have about a 40 minute commute to church.   The distance limits practice time. Therefore, I’m creating piano arrangements requiring minimal practice time for Sunshine (one of our church pianists)  and myself.

This particular arrangement has been a favorite at our church. One of my out ot town piano friends, Beth Fox, was visiting the other day, and I put her to work sightreading a couple of arrangements.  She was kind enough to do a recording of  ”Since I Have Been Redeemed” .

The balance of the pianos is not the best but the recording still provides audio aid to those who have this arrangement.

Piano duos are beneficial in many ways.  I’ll have to share more on this topic at a later date :)

I have been spending time adding a few things to my music store. Several audio samples have been added to existing arrangements.

The newest piano duo arrangement was just added today. It’s a piano duo of “Since I Have Been Redeemed”.

This arrangement is one of our church’s favorite offertories.  The piano duo is very lively and easy to learn in a short amount of time.

Here is a video of my piano duo “Joy to the World”.

Nathan Mason is one of my more advanced students and enjoys playing piano duos as you will notice.   :)

I do apologize for the lack of balance between the two pianos.

This piano duo of “Joy to the World” is featured on my
“Simply Christmas” Cd and is now available in the music store.
