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!

Here’s a very festive sounding two piano Christmas arrangement which I wrote last year.   I already published it on Sheet Music Plus last year and just now remembering to plug it into my online store.  I thoroughly enjoyed playing this duo with a friend on facebook live a year ago. I’ve included  a video of myself playing with my keyboard recording 🙂
