I recently ordered “Simply Hymns” by Molly Ijames and it just arrived today.

Just finished playing through the entire book. I love it!

Simple…yet elegant is the best way to describe this sacred piano arrangement book.

Molly provided a nice array of lush chords without sounding too complex.

I like the description of the book: “Accessible Piano Settings for the Church Year”.

Church pianists at the early intermediate up through advanced will enjoy playing this book!

Tastefully done!  The pieces even accommodate the church pianist with small hands!

Molly’s book can be purchased from Lorenz Publishing.

See sample and hear audios HERE.

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 🙂

Gesu Bambino

Advanced two piano Christmas arrangement by Jenifer Cook 10 pages, Approx. length: 4:00 Great piece for offertory or recital! A very festive sounding selection with lots of contrast! The performers will appreciate the balanced interchange between parts.

Get ready with these prep tips!

1. Sit elbow length from the keys (knees should be slightly under keyboard.)
2.  Sit on front half of bench

More pedaling tips coming soon!
