I have not been posting as much as normal lately and there is a good reason why. I am just a bit overwhelmed. Here are the projects I am working on:
1) Big masters class at Mikado Baptist Church in Macon, GA on Saturday (35 pianists have signed up so far). I have some new concepts for this class so have been getting prepared. By the way, if you want to come to this, there is still time to register by contacting the church. 2) Christmas concert in December. I have never put together enough Christmas music for a concert. In fact, I have never really worked on Christmas music at all. So I am scrambling there. I am enjoying it though. A lot of of those songs really lend themselves to unusual ideas. 3) Piano-only hymns CD in 2010. All new music for this one. 4) Christmas CD in 2010. 5) More instructional DVDs. I am actually planning on getting up to 25 hours of video recorded in February. 6) Launch of SundayMusician.com. This will be a site that allows church musicians to interact and share with each other. I had hoped to get this up by the end of the summer, but that is obviously not going to happen.
Coming on on the blog: 1) I am going to be starting a series soon on the history of piano in the church. It is a fascinating subject in some ways as you will see. 2) Video blogs. I just got the equipment that will allow me to do high quality videos that I am going to be posting here. Videos will allow me to demonstrate things on the piano that are hard to explain just by writing. If you have ideas for things I should cover by video, let me know.
