The Lord has placed a burden on my heart to share my scripture songs with others. Personally, I have found scripture songs help me memorize God's Holy Word and keep my thoughts focused on Christ. I pray these scripture songs will bless your soul as they have mine.
"The Lord is My Light" scripture song is based on Psalm 27:1. Sheet music is available in two versions: (1) Piano Block Chords and (2) Early Intermediate Piano Arrangement.
This piano solo is dedicated to Maurica, one of my online piano students, who was the inspiration for this classical hymn arrangement! This classical hymn arrangement creatively combines the familiar Irish melody of "Be Thou My Vision" with Beethoven's expressive "Moonlight Sonata". This arrangement is 5 pages in length (approx. 3:37 minutes in duration), and it is perfect for both recital and church performances year-round.

Our 5th annual summer piano party was lots of fun despite the rain!
Thankfully, we were still able to have the obstacle course, but we only played one inning of water balloon baseball before it was raining too hard. However, this year I was more prepared for the rain and planned games that could be modified to work in the garage: 'This or That', musical chairs (voted one of the children's favorite games), rhythm toss, and 'Name that Tune'.
To make things more interesting, I played music for the musical chairs using my glockenspiel. If a student 'got out', they were invited to play along with me on the next round. I also used my glockenspiel for 'Name that Tune'. This instrument proved to be ideal for the situation: small, portable, no electricity required, and my students can play it with me. :)

What an exciting spring recital with twenty performers, a juggling act, numerous solos and piano ensembles, a flower sticks act, and the premiere of several original compositions!
Check out some of our memorable performances!
For each piano party, I make sure to have at least one new game. This year, for our 4th Annual Summer Piano Party, I tried a new icebreaker game and a built a musical bean bag toss game with my dad.
Rhythm Toss (aka Musical Bean Bag Toss)
I love bean bag toss, so I was excited to discover Sheryl Welles' idea for a rhythm toss on Pinterest. My boards look similar to Sheryl's example, but I made the boards equal in rhythm value (ex: whole note on one board vs. whole rest on the other board, and so on). The rhythm values represented the points for each hole: an eighth note was 50 points, a quarter note was 100 points, a dotted half note was 300 points, and so forth. For the piano party, I simply divided the students into two teams and the team with the highest points won. For more information on the boards and how to use them to reinforce rhythm recognition, visit SherylWelles.blogspot.com.

This piano solo is dedicated to Kenneth, my online piano student, who encourages me to keep creating new hymn arrangements. I'm so thankful for him! This hymn arrangement of "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" is quite expressive, and it is 7 pages (approx. 3:48 minutes in length). The various sections are woven together with a gentle, flowing melodic pattern. This piece was written for early advanced pianists, and it is perfect for church performances throughout the year.

The sheet music is available on Sheet Music Plus. Our 3rd annual spring piano recital showcased the dedication of each student. The program comprised of nine piano solos and seven ensembles; four of these pieces were original compositions: Shooting Star (composed by a piano student), Spring Storm, Landing Point, and Faithful Sunset. Each student did a fabulous job, and I was so excited to see how far they had come in their music studies!  My brother and I have performed a piano/juggling entr'acte in the middle of the recital program for the last couple years, and it has become a spring recital tradition. Typically, my brother juggles while I play a ragtime piece on the piano; however, this year I knew we needed to change things up. So, we decided to switch...I would learn to juggle and my brother would learn a piece on the piano. This twist completely surprised my students and made for a memorable evening! This piano solo is dedicated to Ruth Kester, Ryan Pipes, and all the brave men and women who serve in our United States Navy. Thank you for your service! This patriotic hymn arrangement beautifully weaves together the hymn, My Anchor Holds, and the US Navy anthem, Anchors Aweigh. It is a full 6 pages in length (approx. 3:24 duration), and it is perfect for recitals and church performances around patriotic holidays. Throughout the piece, the tunes of My Anchor Holds and Anchors Aweigh are often both audible at the same time. Later, the refrain from the hymn, Will Your Anchor Hold?, is triumphantly proclaimed during the climax.
