Welcome to my classical world!
My main work is titled "Learn Piano Through the Classics".
There are many simple arrangements out there, of classics for beginners. However, most are "watered down" to the point that they lose the depth of feeling that the original conveys.
So, I have created arrangements that are very close to the originals so that the feelings come through. I have found that students really enjoy playing these classics with me.
I had one student sight read through my arrangement of the Bach Piano Concerto in d minor. When he got to the end, he didn't say anything for a minute. Then he exhaled a "WOW!".
Students who have never even heard classical music have thoroughly enjoyed playing the Rachmaninoff Prelude in c sharp minor, with me. They not only are exposed to great music this way, they experience it first hand.
With most of the pieces, the student plays either the melody, or (as in the case of the Rachmaninoff Prelude) the bass line.
I am especially rigorous about maintaining the integrity of the endings, which when "dumbed down" loses much of what the composer wishes us to feel.
I have also written a book for beginning piano students which gives an abundance of music for them to read. (Some students need more reading practice than the typical primer provides. Classics are interspersed among these pieces.
I have also done some arrangements of hymns and Christmas Carols, for your enjoyment. For these, I have stayed away from "pop" and "jazzy" techniques, but stayed true to the simple harmonies in the songs.
I have also written a published a work called, "LDS Hymns for Organ on Three Staves" which I will add here shortly. This is a great way for a pianist to learn to play the organ, using the feet for the bass line. The alto is placed with either the soprano (ie right hand) or the tenor (left hand), depending on it's position. Fingering suggestions, as well as pedaling suggestions are included.
Thus, the hymns are visually separated into three tracks, so that the brain doesn't have so much to figure out!
Many of these hymns are specific, but many are used in many other churches.
After about a year, I find that one does not need this visual help so much.
