Published Sheet Music
The pieces that we already have a connection to are often the ones that we are more motivated to practice. Its just really fun to play music that we've heard before. So one of the things I really enjoy doing as a teacher is creating piano arrangements of student requests. If you want to know more about when and why I began doing this, you can read read that blog post here.
And so after several years of sitting down to arrange student requests on a regular basis, I've accumulated a number of popular pieces arranged for beginner and intermediate piano that have been so successful with my own students that I decided to try publishing several of these arrangements for others to purchase. And in doing so have officially joined the world of music publishing! You can visit my store here.
I set up shop for all of my popular arrangements on SMP Press because they do all the work of getting permission from the original copyright holders and delivering their royalties. All I had to do was format my music, upload the files, and I was open for business. My hope is that these pieces will provide motivation and inspiration to beginner and intermediate piano players all over. One of the things that definitely gives me a little spark of joy is going into my sales to see where the purchases have come from, and it's so fun to see they are coming from not only the US, but all over the world.
So hooray for new business ventures, and for sharing our music with an even broader audience. I do hope to expand my little store into publishing more of my own original compositions and maybe even a few piano games for parents and teachers, so stay tuned for that! And a huge thank you to all my wonderful students for their requests over the years. Your constant inspiration to be a creative teacher and find new avenues for your musical growth is one of the factors that continues to fuel my own journey as a professional musician.
