Piano Sheet Music

Besides writing and art, I also teach piano lessons! Over the years I’ve created a few original works, transcribed LDS church hymns for five-finger piano, and adapted a few songs along the way.

SACRED HYMNS FOR FIVE-FINGER PIANO added 16 April, 2020.

JADE’S GARDEN 8th note version added 16 April, 2020.

Original Compositions

  • Mountain Bells (intermediate piano)

Written in the spirit of Brian Eno and Harold Budd, this is a minimalist piece that shimmers and breathes. Here’s a preview of the first line.

  • Jade’s Garden (easy piano)

One of my grown students once fostered a mother cat and her litter. Although the momcat and her kittens were re-homed, my student kept Jade, a beautiful seal-point shorthair. I wrote this picturing Jade enjoying a sunny frolic in her garden.

This is written in quarter notes for the ease of the beginning student, but it should be played with some speed for flow.

(Update, April 2020) A version written with 8th notes is now available on Gumroad for the more advanced beginner. The songs sound the same, however. The Gumroad download has both versions, pay what you want.

Transcriptions and Arrangements

  • Spiegel im Spiegel (solo piano arrangement)

I about jumped out of my seat when I heard this song featured in the trailer for Gravity. You see, I’d had this Arvo Pärt song on CD for years. After discovering MuseScore, I searched for and found a lovely arrangement for piano and violincello.

Hm, I thought. With a little modding, that could be doable for a solo pianist. So I grabbed the file and went to work. My arrangement uses Danwe’s transcription as a major base, but I also made some (what I consider) corrections from listening to the CD. It’s not perfect, but I think it’s pretty good, and I enjoy playing it.

Free LDS Easy Piano Five-Finger Hymns

  • Sacred Hymns for Five-Finger Piano: An Easy Piano Collection for All Ages

A grown student of mine, Sue, wanted dearly to play some of our church hymns, but we both found the Hymns Made Easy book to be above her level.

In response, I simplified them even further, transforming the melodies into 5-finger arrangements. This means there are zero to no hand position changes and almost no chords! Great for beginning piano players.

Though they’re nothing fancy, Sue really enjoyed being able to play the worship songs she loved!

These public-domain hymn arrangements are presented as-is; feel free to write in any fingering or letter name helps! These are FOR YOU!

UPDATE 16 APR 2020: I finally collected all these files into   one big book which you can download here. Pay what you want (including $0, but tips are appreciated!)
