I can hear you now: isn't it too early for holiday music?

Nope, not at all! If you want to be able to play a few pieces come December, then NOW is the time to start!

It is so fun to tune in to your channel for these inspiring songs that you play so well. These arrangements are fresh and easily obtainable. And you have given us free stuff to boot. I am so impressed with your lessons and videos. It truly matters. It is wonderful, generous, pianist such as yourself, that have helped me more than I can express.

Although, I know the work comes from me, music is like a difficult road map and trying to find the right path has been challenging and has kept me at a beginning level for far too long. It feels great to branch out and be actually learning my scales, chords, and the incredible relationship music has to itself and the songs I love to play.

Your videos are clear, concise, easy to follow, and enjoyable to watch. It is not too early to play Christmas music, not at all. Thank you.

Thanks! I’ve been playing from the Piano Adventures book for the last two years, and I’ve been adding a couple new pieces every year from other sources. I plan to try Margaret Mier’s jazz arrangement of It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, but I’m going to check out some of your choices too.

This video came just in time cause I was just thinking of what I can learn to play for the holidays since I don’t like most holiday music

I'm not quite ready for holiday music yet! 😂 However, my favorite piece from your recommendations is the soundtrack for the movie "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence."
Could you please create a video featuring clips from the movie and game soundtracks you've discussed before? (future playlist?) I love your channel—thanks for posting every week!💯

Nice selection of pieces Susan. I've ordered several. More than I'll get to this year, but at least I'll have expanded my music collection for next year. BTW - heard you mention your DAW in the video. Can you share what one you use? Thanks!

Sadly, I've just found out that Penders Music is out of stock on the "Christmas at the Piano" by William Gillock and the title has been discontinued by the publisher.
