...and yourself this Christmas, we have a series of
4 wonderful
courses
so you can do just that!
The first 3 are for people who can already read
Christmas piano sheet music and play the piano,
but want to learn to add those exciting techniques
that make Carols come to life and make people want to sing along.
Watch Duane demonstrate one of the many techniques taught in these courses (this little video is
only 7 min. long, but each actual DVD course is 2 hours long for a total of 6
hours of detailed instruction covering many styles to make your Christmas
Carols more interesting and exciting!):
The
first course in the series is called:
"The Secret of Arranging
Spectacularly Beautiful
Christmas Carols!"
This is a wonderful 2-hour
DVD on playing and arranging Christmas carols, complete with a booklet of the
Christmas piano sheet music songs we arrange together. We start out with a lush version of
"Silent Night", using many chord substitutions that I explain as we go. We also use echoes, half-step slides, arps, and rapid-fire right hand runs. Then we move to
"Joy to the World", using two different styles -- a "chimes" version (complete with "big-ben"), and also a rhythmic style that you will absolutely love! Then we do a haunting version of
"We Three Kings", using some "bluesy" techniques and some hand-over arps and some grace notes. After that we arrange
"Angels We Have Heard On High", using an Alberti Bass style plus a walking bass octave style in 8th notes
in the left hand that is really exciting.
This
DVD video, by the way, is for people who already read
Christmas piano sheet music and can play carols as they are written on the
written music, but want to learn how to make them more interesting, exciting, nostalgic, and just more beautiful.
I don't have the space here to go into more detail, but we
also do dynamite arrangements of
"O Little Town Of Bethlehem",
"O Christmas Tree",
"Angels From The Realms Of Glory",
and "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear" in wonderful, distinctive styles you will love and treasure (and everyone who hears you play will too!)
After I teach you each Christmas carol, we come back and look over my shoulder
and straight down at the keys close-up as I play each style and technique in slow motion so you can follow each technique closely.

We
had
so much great feedback
from the first course -- people wrote and called and
asked "Do you have a course that covers
"Go Tell It On The Mountain",
or
"Hark The Herald Angels Sing",
"I Heard The Bells On
Christmas Day",
and
"Away In a Manger" So the next
Christmas we put out a second course in the series titled...
"The Secret of Arranging
MORE
Spectacularly Beautiful
Christmas Carols!"
More spectacularly beautiful beautiful Christmas Carols:
"I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day"
"Away In a Manger"
"Go Tell It On The Mountain"
"Hark The Herald Angels Sing"
We spend about 30 minutes arranging each carol (2 hours
total) , with fantastic results!

Well, the next year we got
even more requests for other Carols such as
"O Holy Night", "What
Child Is This?", and "O Come All Ye Faithful" and yes, even
"Jingle
Bells". So we went back to the studio and recorded volume #3:
"The Secret of Arranging
STILL MORE
Spectacularly Beautiful
Christmas Carols!"
And STILL MORE spectacularly beautiful beautiful Christmas Carols:
"O Holy Night"
"What Child Is This?"
"O Come, All Ye Faithful"
"Jingle Bells"
Again we spend about half an hour arranging each carol, with super-fantastic results!
