Behind the Scenes! Christmas Practice!
Sunday, December 11th, 2022Just thought I would show you a peek of Allissa, one of my piano students, who I’m training to be a church pianist.
She is doing very well! I write the songs for her to play at her level so she can already be getting “hands on” experience before she’s even playing out the hymnal. She has been doing some reading from the church hymnal.
In the following raw video…Allissa is practicing with a young girl’s group while the choir loft is being decorated for this Wednesday night’s annual Christmas play by the kids of our church. Looking forward to the program! Our youth Pastor’s wife writes a play for each year! She is very talented!
Thanksgiving Vocal Solo!
Friday, November 4th, 2022Here’s a song that one of my piano students wrote two years ago that would make a great Thanksgiving special!
He’s a Wondrous Glorious God. The sheet music can be found at the following link

Jenifer Cook Plays Comforting Hymns
Friday, September 9th, 2022I felt prone to sit down at the piano yesterday and play several hymns to encourage my Mom who recently had a challenging week.
We miss Dad but will see him again in heaven. I’m sharing the recording via youtube.
Facebook Live: Hymns of Heaven & Comfort by Jenifer Cook
Wednesday, June 15th, 2022My dad passed away peacefully on June 2nd with most of his immediate family present.
I wasn’t able to get there soon enough before Dad passed but I did get to talk face to face with him on my phone.
How I miss him but know he’s so much better off. My Mom is doing well. God has brought much peace to our family.
Thank you all for your prayers and notes of encouragement.
Dad & Mom were a big part of my musical training without them even realizing it. They always brought the hymns and songs to life by singing with such expression as though they were just speaking the words. Dad always taught me to “feel” the music.
He would say “Singing is just elongated speech”. How true that is!
Over the years the words to hymns have been such a balm to my soul. Now…hymns have taken on a deeper meaning.
Mom and I were talking the other night on the phone…trying to come up with a playlist for tomorrow’s facebook event.
We decided to focus on hymns of heaven & comfort. Mom reflectively said, “You know…Dad sang more about heaven
recently than any other time.”
I will be playing live on Facebook tomorrow evening June 16, 2022… at 8pm EST. Anyone on or off facebook can view the video at the following link:
