New and improved YouTube channel!

I am excited to share a little project I have been working on for the last few weeks: my new and improved YouTube channel!

I've added lots of new features that I think will make my channel easier to navigate and more helpful for teachers and students. Keep reading to learn more!

Here is an overview of the features you will now find on my channel:

  • More videos. You will now find videos for all of my arrangements and almost all of my original pieces--over 800 videos in all! This makes it easy to browse for new music and will be a helpful resource to share with any students who might be learning these pieces! There are also playlists for level, collection, and genre (video game music, film music, holiday music, and more).​
​​
  • Color-coded thumbnails. Now you can tell at a glance whether a piece is elementary, late elementary, early intermediate, or intermediate level by looking at the thumbnail. Pieces that are part of a collection have the collection's cover featured on the thumbnail as well.

Easy = late elementary = blue

Early intermediate = pink

Intermediate = purple. This piece is part of the collection "A Rockin' Christmas," pictured on the thumbnail.
  • More Synthesia tutorial videos. My channel now features more tutorial videos for my beginner and easy arrangements. These give you the option of using a rote-to-reading approach with these pieces if you would like by having your students practice along with the video, then with the sheet music.​

Duets = orange. This duet features a tutorial video as well.
  • Piano collection sampler videos. My channel now includes "sampler videos" for each of my piano collections! These short videos contain audio snippets and sample pages of each piece in the collection, and the video description has links to where you can purchase the book. This is a great way to get an overview of a particular book to see if it is a good fit for your students. Check out the whole sampler video playlist HERE.

The best way to keep up with my newest releases is to subscribe to my YouTube channel! I post new videos and sheet music links every week, as soon as new releases are available for purchase. If you find these new features helpful, please consider subscribing to my channel by clicking HERE or on the image below, then clicking the red "subscribe" button.
