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!

Surprise Visit From Piano Friends!
Monday, October 16th, 2023
Wow! How surprised I was to see Loren & Louise Lustig at my church this past Sunday!
Loren & Louise are a husband and wife team who volunteer of their time to minister through music to various churches in their area as needed for Sunday services, weddings and funerals. I’ve gotten to know them over the years via email correspondence.
They have encouraged me over the years through their playing, emails and now a visit! I also enjoy how Loren & Louise weave hymn lyrics throughout their encouraging notes.
Thanks Loren & Louise for the visit and for the gift of piano CDs! You both are an inspiration to me and keep me writing.
Hear Loren & Louise play and hear their encouraging note via video. Click HERE

Piano Arrangement: Then Sings My Soul
Wednesday, February 22nd, 2023One of my piano students requested this arrangement of Then Sings My Soul for a piano competition piece.
If you’ve been following my posts over the years, Allissa will sound familiar to you. Allissa has just recently approached a true intermediate level.
She is the one who requested an arrangement of this well-loved hymn.
I tried to add some phrases that sound similar to my advanced version of this hymn. Below….is the video of the early intermediate arrangement for Then Sings My Soul.
