This arrangement began as a spontaneous creation during one of Jenifer’s recent “Comforting Hymns” sessions…via live on facebook.
Due to numerous requests, Jenifer has written out the arrangement and now it’s available in print.
Lesson learned: Don’t schedule a vocal or instrumental ensemble during flu season! Always have a standby on hand for vocal or offertory specials.
I have a nine voice mixed ensemble scheduled to sing this Sunday morning. Due to a lot of various sicknesses going around…I’ve secured a standby vocal solo for this Sunday morning. I’ll let him know by Saturday afternoon whether or not he’ll need to sing.
I pray everyone who reads this is doing well!
Jenifer shares some of her heart felt thoughts on the subject of special music in the church service.
Wednesday night services are a special treat at our church. Our Pastor studies hard to make Wednesday nights VERY practical.
We learn SO much and feel we can’t afford to miss a Wednesday night service!
But what about having special vocal music on a Wednesday night?
Beginning January 2019…I’m starting something new with my piano students who attend our church….three are beginners and one late elementary student.
I will include them in playing for the congregational singing. (At least two at a time) One on digital…the other on portable keyboard. (Evening services only) Why? Not as big of a crowd in the evening services 🙂
(I write the hymns at their level for this) I already have ten hymn arrangements ready for the beginners (C position and Middle C position note range) Preparing the late elementary level ones now.
Oh! An added plus…the arrangements can stand alone as an offertory if needed or all of the students could play as a group offertory 🙂 My students LOVE to play group offertories! (More info below this video)
So…I’m keeping written record of who knows what song and I plug them in when I know we’re singing a hymn they can play.
This gives my students more purpose in learning and they will progress very well with this opportunity in front of them 🙂
It’s amazing how well a student advances when given the opportunity!
Side note:
Each hymn arrangement will show a minus or plus number so the student can set the appropriate key on their keyboard.

I just wrote this arrangement of Silent Night for Ady, one of my late beginner students.
She needed something that wouldn’t take long to learn.
Ady loves it!
I will offer this Christmas piano solo for FREE until December 5, 2019.

I enjoy creating pieces with a certain student in mind. This particular piece goes to one of my older female students who enjoys playing songs in a minor key.
The idea for the introduction hit me as I laid down to sleep this past Wednesday. I had to get up and write it down or the idea would have been history!
Even though I’m an advanced level pianist, I still enjoy playing this early intermediate arrangement of “O Come O Come Emmanuel”.
