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.

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.

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. 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.

From Ludwig van Beethoven to Leonard Bernstein, Classics for Kids covers a range of composers and continues to add new podcasts each week. Each music podcast is six minutes in length, with an average of four podcasts on each composer. Naomi Lewin does an excellent job writing each podcast and defining musical terms for younger musicians. Also, the podcasts are filled with beautiful samples of each composer's musical masterpieces. My piano students love Classics for Kids, and one student asked what piece played during the introduction of every podcast. After contacting Classics of Kids, I discovered it was from Amilcare Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours. They sent me a link to this YouTube video, and the Classics for Kids theme song can be found approximately 7:40 into the video.
My other student, in Level 6, performed "You're a Grand Old Flag" from a fun patriotic arrangement book, titled Let Freedom Ring, by Phillip Keveren.

I wrote this piano six hands composition for the 2015 Spring Recital with these young men in mind. After practicing it together a couple times, I asked them to think about the overall sound of the piece and choose a title. One of them brought up the change in the piece between minor and major which made him think of light vs. darkness. It wasn't too long before they decided on "The Eclipse". Their piece was a highlight at the recital because the audience could tell they were having fun playing it together. The sheet music is available for FREE here.
One of my piano students recently began taking guitar lessons. To encourage her in her guitar studies, I arranged "Ode to Joy" into a beautiful guitar/piano duet for her and her sister to perform at our 2015 Spring Recital. My brother plays guitar and he helped me write the guitar part – in fact, he actually taught me how to play it on the guitar. They both did a great job at the recital! The sheet music is available for FREE here.
