This one was arranged per request of one of my students. It was fun, because most of my students are late-beginner/early intermediate. This student, however, can do the runs and chords. So I had a blast. 😉

Angels We Have Heard on High | Piano Duet
It is always fun to arrange a song more than once. A few weeks back, I shared the advanced piano solo of “Angels.” Now, here’s a duet, per request.
Sheet music info here.
O Holy Night | Music Video
It seems like one of the popular Christmas favorites is “O Holy Night.” One of my newer students requested this for Christmas. As she knew music before I began teaching her, I was able to make it a late-beginner arrangement for her, using elements of the original arrangement.
Here’s a sample of the music:

‘Tis so Sweet to Trust in Jesus | Music Video
“O for grace to trust Him more!” — I know I keep saying that these hymns rank at my top favorites, but seriously, there are so many good hymns out there. Here is just another one of them. 😉

Hark! the Herald Angels Sing | Music Video
Piano duet!! I love duets… and Christmas music. 😉 So, why not mix the two?

Angels we Have Heard on High | Music Video
The air is turning cooler! And as soon as it does, I like to break out the Christmas music! You can ask my students — some of us have already begun working on Christmas carols!
Here’s one full of exuberance and joy! What is one of your favorite Christmas carols?

The Old Rugged Cross | Music Video
Another old favorite of mine… This hymn just calms me. It is so beautiful, so Christ-centered.

Down by the Riverside | Music Video
A few years ago, one of my students asked me to arrange her a spiritual, for her to play for her daddy. I actually got some books and studied styling to expand my knowledge in this style. And I had a blast. Since then, I’ve added another verse to it to make it a more complete arrangement. Enjoy!

Two Music Videos
Last weekend, our family did revival services at a church about 1 1/2 hours from us. What a blessing it was! Such a sweet spirit!
Some of you may or may not have heard my family sing. I’ve posted some videos on here before, but I really and honestly and truly love being able to still sing and play with my family–so why not share another song with my blog readers? 😉 Being raised in a musical family has been a tremendous blessing! Sure, we have difficulties (like when your older siblings “grow up apart” from the music group and you have to completely revamp everything you do), but I wouldn’t trade it for anything!
I’d like to hear from you: does your family sing together? (even just “around the house for fun”)
And then, the usual Wednesday piano solo: Softly and Tenderly (arranged for intermediate pianist)
