Event Link: Hymns of Comfort & Guidance
My husband came up with the hymn selections dealing with comfort & guidance.
Here’s my playlist:
Choosing an Easter Piano Arrangement
January 31st, 2023
I’m considering arranging “One Day” for an Easter offertory.
How many of you church pianists know this hymn and is it familiar to your church?
Thanks for your input!
All the Way My Savior Leads Me
January 28th, 2023Several of my viewers are asking for sheet music to a short video I did on youtube this past week. The four hymns were spontaneous. So, in time I will try to create at least one more from that particular video. It will probably be “Near to the Heart of God”.
“All the Way My Savior Leads Me” was the first hymn I played in the short video. I would guess this is an early advanced level. My spontaneous pieces do not always have much structure but you’re welcome to wade through my homespun version of this hymn.
This piece wouldn’t take much prep time for the early advanced to advanced church pianist.
Thanks to those who encouraged me to create sheet music for All the Way My Savior Leads Me.

My Dad
December 22nd, 2022This is our first Christmas without my Dad. He’s with Jesus, the Savior of the world. WHAT a thot!
One of my fondest memories as a young girl was singing around the piano with family & friends at this time of year.
As the years passed, fewer times like this ever happened. I cherish the few times we did get together around the piano in later years.
Here’s one of those recent times from about a year ago…one of the last times I played for my Dad here on this earth.
I cann0t play this song now without hearing my Dad pour his heart and soul into every word about his dear Savior!
Dad always sang… as though he were speaking.
I’m so thankful to my parents for exposing me to godly music during my upbringing.

New Christmas Piano Solo: Hark the Herald Angels Sing
December 15th, 2022Sorry but I have not had the time to input a lot of music into sheet music this Christmas. Here’s a quickie for the elementary level of Hark the Herald Angels Sing.
I wrote it for my ten year old grandson to play at this year’s recital and offertory at church.
He enjoyed learning it…especially the intro and big bass ending!
The arrangement consists of an intro, verse, chorus and ending…all in the key of F Major.
Behind the Scenes! Christmas Practice!
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!
