Music

I have always enjoyed good music. I started studying the piano when I was 5 years old, and voice a little later than that. I started teaching piano when I was 16, and have sung in numerous choirs over the years. At one point, I even considered becoming a choir teacher for a living.

One of the things I enjoy doing with music is writing arrangements of hymns for piano. Here are a few recordings I’ve made of my arrangements. I hope you’ll enjoy them.

How Great the Humble Birth (piano)

I Am a Child of God (piano)

Away in a Manger (vocal/piano)

Where Can I Turn For Peace (English vocal/piano)

Dónde hallo el solaz (Spanish vocal/piano)

Note: These were recorded in Garageband through a MIDI interface, so the piano sound isn’t as nice as a real piano, and it misinterpreted how hard/soft I hit some of the keys. And for the vocals, I used a cheap microphone headset designed for chatting/Skype, etc., so really not ideal for singing. There’s hissing in background, and the quality isn’t that good. So I didn’t spend a lot of time trying to perfect these recordings. I basically did one or two takes.

Maybe some day I’ll practice them more and go to a recording studio to really perfect the performances. In the mean time, you’re welcome to perform them yourself by downloading the sheet music below.
