Recitals and Music Video

Published on by Amanda Tero4 Comments
I know it’s late for a post today, but after two evenings of recital, I wasn’t ready to schedule things quite yet last night. So here you have it… a late Wednesday music post.
First off… recitals!
This year, I divided my music studio into two recitals. Violin…

And piano…

Not all of my students were able to come to recitals (this late it ran into summer programs). Both recitals went amazingly well and everyone did so great! I don’t remember a moment when someone completely froze, unable to go forward in their piece. It just might have been my best recitals yet.
Now… I’ve already done a WAJN video of “Joshua Fit de Battle” but it’s much more fun to see things played in person. Three of my sisters played “Joshua” for recital so now you can see live-action trio.

Have you ever been a part of a musical ensemble? Trio, duet, other?

After a few years, I finally have The Solid Rock piano album available for digital download. It may take a week or so to be available on iTunes, but it’s already available from Amazon music and more! Or, you can buy directly from CD Baby.
A few days ago, I asked my FaceBook friends this question. I’m interested to hear your answer: do you listen to music primarily from a hard CD or digitally?

Joshua Fit de Battle | Music Video

I’m excited about this week’s music video, for a few reasons…

First… it’s a piano trio! How fun is that?! I’m going to try to get some of my students to play it for recital this year.
Second… I really didn’t think I’d have time or energy to do a recording this week. But once again, God has been good and supplied my need.
Third… it’s Joshua Fit de Battle! ‘Nuff said.

So, enjoy. 🙂

Take My Life, and Let it Be | Music Video

Another first for WAJN: Violin quartet. 🙂 I have enjoyed arranging for string ensembles for a few years now, but as with most things, I tend to do it when I have a specific reason to do it. Well, now with about ten violin students, I have a reason! We have a homeschool tea coming up, and one of the coordinators asked if I could get a few of my students to pull something together. The theme of the tea is “Celebrating our Individuali-tea.” I thought there was no better hymn to use than “Take My Life,” because no matter how different we are, God can still use our lives for His purposes.

I recorded myself (double and triple 😉 ) so that everyone could hear the song as a completion.

If you’re interested in the music, it can be purchased here.

Do you play violin? If so, have you ever played in an ensemble or orchestra?

Hymn Favorites Collection One (and Giveaway!)

Today, I’m excited to announce the start of a new music series!

These are specifically for the late beginner/early intermediate pianist. Those who are around this level…

I didn’t want to sell these pieces as individuals, because, to me, $.99 is a little much for one page of music. So, three songs are for $1.99. 🙂 Here is a sampling of them.
Annnnd… as I promised, a giveaway! I’ve not given away much sheet music, but I know that several of my readers are this level or have students this level, so I’d be more than happy to give away a digital copy. 🙂 Just follow the Rafflecoptor instructions. 😉
