It's October!

I absolutely love the fall in Virginia. The leaves have started to change colors, the weather is cooler and the air is crisp. I’ve finished planning my winter concert for my students, and I’m happy to share with you some new arrangements that will be published on my YouTube channel in the coming months!

Earlier in the year, I was posting a new video every single day. As you can imagine, this took a ton of work and energy, and I had to take a break over the summer. I’ve gotten into a much better groove of posting every Friday. But this holiday season, I’ve found myself with a backlog of music that I want to get published before the end of the year! So from today through at least January, I’ll be posting twice weekly - Tuesdays and Fridays at 10:00EST.

Today’s new arrangement is Sally’s Song from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Although it isn’t specifically a holiday song, I absolutely adore both this quirky film and this melancholy song. (Of course, you can check out my arrangements of This Is Halloween if you’re looking for something spooky!) This arrangement is for violin and piano, and over the coming weeks it will be available for viola, cello, and bass.

The arrangement is in the original key of E minor and can be played entirely in 1st position. Helpful bowings and dynamics have been included. The piano part does not double the melody except in a few bars for musical support and help with intonation. If you’re a teacher like me and sometimes have difficulty finding music that keeps students motivated, this is an excellent choice for them.

All copyrighted songs are available for purchase via SheetMusicPlus. Last year, I became an ArrangeMe Pro member, so if you haven’t already, please check out my publisher page where you can easily access all of my arrangements.
