Just an update on the upcoming chord substitution tutorial.  I’m hoping to finish the main tutorial by the end of next week.

Today I’ve been creating the visual aids to make the lesson as easy to learn as possible!

I don’t know about you…but I’m a visual learner and LOVE to overload on the visual side of things 😉

I’ll be sharing a FREE introductory video for the Chord Substitution tutorial asap! (right here on my website & facebook live)

I’ll know the cost of the tutorial once it’s complete….and will let everyone know.

The tutorial will be available in my online music store.   

I recently received an email from one of my readers, Frederick Ikpatt.

He shared a video link of himself playing my free arrangement of “Jesus Loves Me.”

Frederick is quite the accomplished pianist!  See and hear him play Jesus Loves Me below.

Check out Frederick’s  Youtube channel.

You have to watch his “Protrait/Piano Story” of himself…very inspiring!

He practices on his keyboard even during electricity outages!

Thanks Frederick for sharing your Youtube channel with us!

Over the past year, I’ve had a good many of you ask for “improvising hymns” lessons. I wish I had time to teach all of you!

But wait….there may be a solution!

How many of you would be interested in mini-course lessons?
My husband and I started talking it over today.

I could try doing my first mini-lesson on Zoom. The lesson would cover just one specific topic.

I’m thinking a half hour per session at a cost of $10 per session with a

minimumof 5 applicants.

What are your thoughts? What specific topic would you like to see covered?

The “most mentioned” topic will be our first mini-lesson! I’m rooting for “chord substitutions” to be the first one 

I’ve also posted this on facebook and have a lot of  feedback/topics. So far…chord substitutions is the “most mentioned” topic.

Just thought I’d share my facebook live event from last night. I played about a dozen comforting hymns.

Here’s my Easter greeting to all!

This arrangement began  as a spontaneous creation during one of Jenifer’s recent “Comforting Hymns” sessions…via live on facebook.

Due to numerous requests, Jenifer has written out the arrangement and now it’s available in print.

God Leads Us Along

Advanced sacred piano solo, 4 pgs. Two Verses and Choruses Key of E Flat Major to C Major Jenifer's most requested song during the Corona Virus.

Price: $4.25

Due to numerous requests…I penned “God Leads Us Along” to paper.

Publication of this arrangement will take place sometime this coming week.

Just finished inputting the first page!

I’ve been sick since Sunday a week and a half ago so will try to finish asap.

I simply played this song from my heart not expecting others to want the arrangement.

Thanks for your kind words! Here’s a glimpse of the first page…

Due to Numerous Requests…I’m currently writing the arrangement for “God Leads Us Along” from this video below…

A spontaneous video I created to comfort my friends. I hope these songs are a blessing to you all.
