If you enjoyed hearing Mary, Did You Know from my home studio this past Friday... perhaps you'd also enjoy this recording I made of the arrangement on a beautiful Mason & Hamlin BB!

EDIT: The winners are in! But stay tuned for the new release this Friday!

Sheet Music Giveaway! I've been focused on new original music for a good chunk of this year, but it's time for a new arrangement! The arrangement is actually a medley of 2 famous pieces, one from film and one folk instrumental. The measures I've chosen to show incorporate BOTH melodies... can you name one of them? First 2 correct guesses of either piece will get a free copy of the sheet music for this new arrangement! One helpful hint: the key is D Maj ;-)

Good luck! The new release will come out this Friday at 7am Mountain Time!

Sheet Music Giveaway! I'm giving away 4 COPIES of this one, so get guessing :-). Here's your hint: This one was originally composed for orchestra and 2 voices.

First 4 correct guesses will receive a free copy of the sheet music for this new transcription! As soon as the correct guesses are in, I'll post the new performance video as well!

EDIT: WE HAVE THE WINNERS! It's time for a new Sheet Music giveaway! There's a new transcription coming out this Friday, and it's of a VERY famous piece of music. So famous that I couldn't give you a preview of the main theme because it would be way too easy to guess! So instead, here is a preview of the B theme... click or tap the image to see the full preview. One extra hint: the original is a symphony.

In celebration of this being my first arrangement of 2024, I'll give out 2 copies of this one and 4 copies of the one for next month... so... first two correct guesses here will get a free copy of this new transcription! Get guessing! Comments will close either after the first two correct guesses or by 11:59pm EST on Thursday!

**EDIT! We've had two correct guesses of one of the two tunes here, but I'll give away ONE MORE COPY if someone can guess the second tune that's NOT "Little Drummer Boy." Good luck! **

It's time for another sheet music giveaway! This Friday, the first of 3 new Christmas arrangements for this season will be released! Two of them will be quite different than anything I've done on the channel before... but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Put your guesses in the comments below. No extra hints this time, except that the 2 measures shown here include melodies from 2 different songs. Guess either one of them correctly! Since there are 2 songs, I'll also give away 2 copies of this sheet music... so the first 2 correct guesses will be winners! Ready, set, let's go!

Hey hey fellow piano music lovers! I'm writing to share some news and also maybe ask a favor! My album of original solo piano music, "Moments of Reflection," is on the ballot for GRAMMY consideration!!! I'm super excited just to be able to say that. This is the stage right before an official nomination for award would happen. And now for the favor... If any of you happen to be voting members of the Recording Academy, I'd be incredibly grateful if you'd consider voting for this album in the "Best New Age" category. The voting just opened earlier this week.

Thanks for all of your support! There's a new arrangement I'm practicing up right now, so be on the lookout for a sheet music giveaway!

And btw, if you'd like to listen to the music, here's a link to the album on Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/0CN0mW8V7siaU0SlI24U0E?si=f…

It's been a while, but it's time for a new SHEET MUSIC GIVEAWAY!!! There's a new arrangement coming this Friday, so be sure and get your guess in the comments here by Thursday 11:59pm Eastern USA time!

As usual, the FIRST correct guess wins. There's no limit to the number of guesses you can make, but ya know... let's try to make them good guesses ;-)

I have a feeling this one will be super difficult to get, so I've given you an entire page of the sheet music to look at. If you click or tap the image, it should expand to show you one additional line of music you can't see in the square preview.

Your additional hints are:

- This is a piece of classical music originally written for orchestra.
- This piece is one from a very large set of music.
- My arrangement is in a VERY different style than the original.

Good luck, and get guessing!
