This week’s Summer Camp piece is Love Yourself by Justin Bieber. There are 3 levels – Just the Melody Line, Simplified and the whole piece. This is in C Major – no sharps or flats.

🎵 Organmaster
I’ve been thinking a bit about shoes lately, specifically organ shoes. Many people probably don’t know that organists usually use special shoes to help them play the pedals on an organ. When I was learning a new piece, I would play barefoot to help feel where my feet should go but when playing in church […]

🎵 Barbershop Quartet Day

Their music features songs with understandable […]
