Today's piece was kindly sponsored by Jane Fisher, for Simon Mercer. Apparently Simon is not the biggest fan of Christmas. I was tempted to go down the Scrooge / Grinch route, but I know Simon is actually very kindhearted, so Krampus seemed more appropriate. Despite appearing to be a bah humbug, Krampus actually helps Santa, by scaring the living daylights out of naughty children, encouraging them to be good. You have been warned...

Today's piece was kindly sponsored by Sharon Richenberg. The groups of 5 look a bit intimidating at first, but it's really just a case of playing each note one by one. Listening to the mp3 or video should help!

Today's piece was sponsored by Joy Stephenson. Joy has devised titles for many of my pieces, including this one, which I always thought was rather special, so I saved it for an occasion such as this. I hope Joy likes her piece!

Today's piece was sponsored by a cheeky little elf who loves to sing opera. I bet he can't find the incredibly-well disguised opera quote embedded within this piece. It's so subtle...

Today's piece is sponsored by professional pianist Jill Morton. Jill has a very popular and excellent Youtube channel, and tells me that she'll be adding her own performance of Roasting Chestnuts to her channel. I'll update this page with a link to it, and then you can hear the piece as it's meant to be played - I am winging it here!!

Happy birthday to Christian Morris, the sponsor of this piece! This tune has become better known as 'Deck the Halls', but its roots lie in Wales, like Christian's. I hope as a fellow harmony-smith, he enjoys and possibly laughs at my quirky version!!

Grade 4
Once you have mastered the first four bars of the left hand, making sure you hold the lower note, it's really a case of focussing on the right hand.

Grade 3
Seemingly straightforward, this piece involves playing in several 'voices' like a choir or orchestra, so you have to be careful to hold inner notes for their full values.

Prep Test Level
The first in an occasional series, offering straightforward pieces in a range of keys. The player can gain confidence at playing in a wider range of keys, because the music has been kept deliberately simple.

Grade 2
The title is, of course, ironic, as there are many, many ties in this piece. It's a good exercise in counting if nothing else!

A contemplative piece for autumn.

Grade 4
A dreamy melody with a fairly straightforward left hand accompaniment. The rhythm looks tricky, but watch the video a couple of times and you'll soon get the hang of it.

Grade 4
Such a well known tune, but not that easy to play on the piano. There are some big stretches and awkward fingerings. The good news is, you can take your time, as the music sounds lovely even when very slow.

This pretty little tune reminded me of happy days in Paris, staying with a friend in St Germaine. I can feel the sunlight filtering through the plane trees, as we sip from little cups of very strong coffee. Bliss!

This piece is all about the melody. Think like a singer, and enjoy the way it rises and falls.
