I'm So Excited about tonight!
The November 18th Organist event!
University of Tampa - featuring Organist of Notre Dame, Paris!
(Later: Both showings were packed. I disliked the modern atonal pieces, but the improvisation on a Brahms Symphony theme and 'Tis the Gift to Be Simple' was interesting! Amazing place.

Expanding
I've just expanded my "Students" page, on the top menu here, to include more links to free sheet music. This was particularly to give my students some Christmas lead sheets. It's less than three months away! With Thanksgiving coming next month, I'm thinking I'll post about traditional Thanksgiving music.

More from our Honeymoon: WhItEwAtEr Chopsticks!
On our way home from our time in Virginia, we stayed at the home of a most hospitable family I met in 2006 at a Little Bear Outdoor Adventure camp in Pennsylvania. Hope, also a pianist and piano teacher, showed us a video of her and her student playing a dramatic duet of this piece, and it was AWESOME! I want to learn this piece, and copy her idea!! :) Here is a rendition I liked from youtube:
