String Arrangements

Arrangements for Strings

As a composer, arranger, and educator, my goal has been to create high quality resources for students and teachers alike.  To aid in this effort, I am currently in the process of taking many of the resources I have created and publishing these.  I also have an ongoing goal of creating wonderful arrangements and original compositions for students to have fun, enjoyable, and beneficial repertoire that will help them learn and grow as musicians.

The resources on this page are going to be slowly transferred to my new website, which is now up and running.  Check out my new site:

For now, this link will stay active while I'm transitioning the into using the new page.  You can also check out my publisher page at Sheet Music Plus for a complete list of all music now available for purchase:

    Just wanted to thank you for making your string trio arrangement of "Come, Come, Ye Saints" available for free download on freeldssheetmusic.org. My three oldest children performed it during sacrament meeting yesterday, and it was very well received.
    I recorded a video of their Sunday morning pajama rehearsal and linked it to our family blog:

    You are very welcome! I'm hoping to create some more string arrangements soon. Very glad to know this one was put to such great use. :) And the Sunday morning pajama rehearsal was awesome! If there are any specific suggestions for possible string arrangements, both for hymns and for specific instruments, let me know!

Harmony Postlude: Mary Had a Little Lamb in Minor

Image
As a precursor to an upcoming discussion on harmonies (or a "postlude," if you will pardon the musical pun), I wanted to rewrite "Mary Had a Little Lamb" again with the same melody but different harmonies, placed in such a way to put it in a minor instead of a major key.  This wasn't too hard, as there are only three notes (4 notes in some versions) in the whole song.  Here's the minor version of "Mary Had a Little Lamb:" While this is the same exact melody, a change in the harmonies can give the song a different feel, in this case quite sinister and very dark.  Since the melody used only DO, RE, and MI in the original key, I turned these into ME, FA, and SOL for the minor version. I've utilized a similar technique for my Piano Sonata to help change the feel of different movements but to connect them together.  The first movement is in A minor and starts out in the melody with a B-flat grace note going to the tonic, A.  The second move

We Three Kings: Free Sheet Music and Free Tutorial

Image
In order to teach some of the skills I've learned in my 16+ years of working with notation software, I've created a small arrangement for piano of the song by John Henry Hopkins Jr. "We Three Kings of Orient Are."  There are several things that I'm going to be doing with this small arrangement: 1) I'm going to be putting this arrangement for free on this blog (follow the link to find the free sheet music) for anyone who would like to download it. 2) I'll be creating stream-able music on YouTube and on SoundCloud for anyone who wants to hear the song. 3) I'll be creating a YouTube tutorial series showing how you would go about transcribing music (specifically this arrangement) into MakeMusic's music notation software "Finale." 4) I'll be taking suggestions for future things that I can create arrangements of and other videos that anyone would like to see.  :) I'm excited for this opportunity to share some music and some

Rohwer Skill Acquisition Pyramid: YouTube Video

Image
While continuing to develop the skill acquisition pyramid I developed in 2014 ( read the article ), I've been expanding out my knowledge while teaching students about how to learn more effectively and practice more efficiently.  My goal is to take the things I've learned and turn them into a video series on YouTube to help anyone wanting to play an instrument. The first video is now up on YouTube, and I'm so very excited to share what I've learned about becoming a better musician through effective practicing!  Check out the video now:
