One of the first arrangements I published, this spring I had students using it again. It reminded me of how enjoyable it is to play.

Cats with a Fiddle is a new sheet music title containing two jigs in first position. The jigs are in D Major and B Minor. Excellent supplementary material for playing across the fingerboard. The music is available as a digital download for violin, viola and cello. Dance into June with the new pieces.
I had a student request for Titanic. The sheet music for the easy piano arrangement is now available. It is a digital download on sheetmusicdirect and sheetmusicplus. The left hand is a one note accompaniment with no chords. The right hand is melody throughout. Both hands must shift to new positions during the piece. If you would like to listen to it, I have a video. The solo piano arrangement is suitable for performance and recital.
In April, we began writing tunes to help internalize musical skills. The composers performed their pieces in an online format on May 20. Enjoy the photos from the event.

A new arrangement of Scott Joplin’s Augustan Club Waltz is now available. It is a challenging cello quartet arrangement. Three of the cello parts require multiple clef reading. It would be easier with more cellists because the double stops could be divided between players. Listen to the third section here. Get your copy as a digital download.
There is a new learn by ear video available. Sound Explorers worked on Princess Leia’s Theme and the Imperial March. Enjoy!
