Give Him glory, all ye people, For His blood can wash away each stain!”

 I’m pleased to announce that Maddie, the one-hand inspiring church pianist, has agreed to an interview.

Maddie hopes to encourage others by sharing her life as a pianist in general.  She is also the pianist at her church!

I look forward to sharing her interview sometime during the month of November.

You will also get to meet Maddie’s teacher as we get to know Maddie.

Thank you Maddie for being willing to encourage pianists around the world!

I will be announcing the date of the video publication asap!

Awhile ago, one of my readers asked if I had a congregational arrangement for “A Might Fortress is Our God.”

I didn’t at the time but decided to tackle it this week.  This particular arrangement is for the late intermediate church pianist.

What a challenge to stay within the written chords from the hymnal! Maybe I need to come up with a piano solo for this hymn too.

Important Notice!

This arrangement was created for congregational style only.  If  you insert the melody in measures #16 and #20…it can be used for a piano solo.

Here’s a visual aid for measure #34 in my advanced version of “Holy Holy Holy”.

I used eighth notes instead of sixteenth notes to give a clearer presentation of the RH run layout.

I created this for a reader that was asking if some of the notes were wrong in the right hand run of this measure.

I’m not surprised. It’s a tricky measure!  I had to practice and practice this page!

I had a person contact me recently requesting another collection of early intermediate congregational arrangements.

One of my daughter-in-laws will also benefit from this collection.

I decided to add an introduction to each arrangement.  Also, most of the arrangements would make nice short piano solo offertories.

You could also use these arrangements for accompanying a soloist too!

Only two of the arrangements wouldn’t be able to stand alone as a piano solo…..”Are You Washed?” and “Sweet Hour of Prayer.” The reason why is because the melody is not supported throughout the entire arrangement.  Some church pianists may be comfortable adding the missing melody in the few places per arrangement.  Otherwise, these two arrangements are missing the melody notes here and there since it’s more of an accompaniment style.

I’ve been busy creating this collection of early intermediate piano congregational arrangements!

More details soon!

One of my viewers recently requested fingering suggestions for my free arrangement of “The Old Rugged Cross.”

I added the suggested fingering by hand.  This is just the fingering that’s most comfortable for me.

Here are two different free PDFs for The Old Rugged Cross…

Add a sparkle to your hymn playing with this simple right hand run!

I picked up this four note run idea from my piano teacher, Judy Andrews years ago!

It’s a neat sounding idea that adds sparkle to a hymn.

I’m working on the final congregational arrangement for my third volume of piano congregational arrangements!

This volume is geared to the church pianist at the early advanced level. Check out Piano Congregational Arrangements Volumes One & Two.
