I just published an early advanced Christmas piano solo of “The First Noel” in the key of C Major. This arrangement, containing two verses, would be easy to learn for the average church pianist.
I plan to post a new advanced Christmas piano solo arrangement of “The First Noel” tomorrow. This particular arrangement is also on my “Simply Christmas” Cd. *The bell instrumentation will not be included in this arrangement.
Most of my arrangements on this CD were spontaneous… by ear. It has been a challenge for me to put these songs into written form. When I play by ear…I don’t always play correct/balanced harmony…so I”m forever grading/correcting myself as I see on paper what I really played. (ouch!)
“The First Noel” has such a soothing melody. I enjoyed putting this one down in writing 🙂
One of my students, Hannah Myers, has just published her first sacred piano arrangement of “Be Thou My Vision”. (late intermediate level) Hannah will be a freshman in junior high this fall.
She has had some wonderful piano teachers. I only started teaching her this past school year. God has richly blessed her!
Below, is a video of Hannah playing her arrangement of “Be Thou My Vision”.

I’ve had many requests for the written arrangement of “Jesus is the Sweetest Name I Know Medley” that is on youtube. It has just been published in my online church pianist music store.
*The written version does contain some modifications; making it a little different from the youtube version. Why? The youtube version was played ‘by ear’ making it difficult to duplicate it note for note on paper. I did my best. If I’m able to refine it…I will email the updated arrangement for “free” to whoever purchases this arrangement.
Thanks for your encouragement to get this one down on paper 🙂
