Back in January, my dear friend, Chris, who is the Primary chorister in my ward, came to me with a brilliant idea. She thought it would be nice to have the monthly scriptures that the primary learns to be set to music. So for the past six months, I have been writing little one liners for the primary scriptures. I can't keep them to myself, so I wanted to let you all know, they are available for FREE upon request. Because I am still working on figuring out how to put sheet music into an html for simple download, for now, Please send an email, or comment with your email address, if you would like to "subscribe" to receive a monthly scripture song, and I will email you back with pdf files for the sheet music.<br /><br />The songs available are as follows:<br /><br />January:<br />Feast Upon the Words of Christ (2 Nephi 32:3)<br /><br />February:<br />For Behond (Moses 1:39)<br /><br />March:<br />What I the Lord (D&C 1:38)<br /><br />April: Articles of Faith 1:3<br />(this is an article of faith, and Vanja Watkins has already written beautiful music for the articles of faith, therefore I didn't write a song for this month)<br /><br />May:<br />Hear Him (Joseph Smith--History 1:17)<br /><br />June: Articles of Faith 1:4)<br />(this is an article of faith, and Vanja Watkins has already written beautiful music for the articles of faith, therefore I didn't write a song for this month)<br /><br />July:<br />Sacred Ordinances ("The Family: A Proclamation to the World", paragraph 3)<br /><br />I will be writing the rest of the year's scripture songs in the coming months.<br /><br />Feel free to share them with your Primary!<br /><br />Thanks!Sherrie Shepherd Piano Musichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15746277452867292657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664402843004978013.post-17162668775902115112010-11-12T13:22:00.004-07:002010-11-12T13:35:17.620-07:00New Release: Piano Hymns<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBfQiBph8rBUc_0tQkeYH1_Bajr2MHCDmpz89RhkpAqE4c0K9wyt3c8mRopge1zq9lzaRcUNcv5iOkD4DEB2rC91omR9cU45IywDW-EPzVMMHnW8Ni6N4biUCm6ICdbbuiO57r7DWqOijv/s1600/PianoHymns1000x1000.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538762398889796930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBfQiBph8rBUc_0tQkeYH1_Bajr2MHCDmpz89RhkpAqE4c0K9wyt3c8mRopge1zq9lzaRcUNcv5iOkD4DEB2rC91omR9cU45IywDW-EPzVMMHnW8Ni6N4biUCm6ICdbbuiO57r7DWqOijv/s320/PianoHymns1000x1000.jpg" /></a><br />My newest CD, Piano Hymns, has just been released is ready for YOU to hear it!<br /><br />I joined a group of amazing pianists in this compilation CD.

It also had a widget that allows me to put my music on my blog. <br />Finally! I could not for the life of me figure out how to put my songs on Project Playlist.<br />So, Sit back, relax, stay a while, and listen to the music. <br /><br />Then, if you love it, (and I know you will!), go on over to that side bar over there, and click to order a CD. Don't forget that if you order a CD now before the end of April, you also get a free sheet music download purchase.<br />And if you're just not in a place to buy the full CD right now, but really like a few of the songs, you can now purchase single mp3 downloads for 99 cents each (+ tax). That's the same as i-tunes by the way. Because I'm still working out all the downloading bugs, once your payment is verified, I will email the link for the mp3 right to your email.<br /><br />Thanks everyone!<br /><br />p.s.

Then, go to the Buy now button, and order the CD. Then you can either go to the Contact Us form, fill out your info, and specify in the comments section which song you would like to download, or leave a comment here saying you have purchased the CD, and tell me which song you want. Then I will email you the link for the sheet music.<br /><br />Simple as that. You get a fabulous CD, free shipping, and some great sheet music, all for only $13!!!<br /><br />p.s.

I'm offering free shipping to anyone who orders before the release. As long as you're patient in waiting to receive your order, while I finish up with production (I appreciate that, by the way, to those of you who have already placed an order).<br /><br />I have had recent feedback that the paypal button isn't working. If you have any problems with paypal, leave me a note on the website (under contact me), or send me an email at <a href="mailto:pianorunner@yahoo.com">pianorunner@yahoo.com</a>. <br /><br />I can email you a Paypal link to pay by credit card (but it's better if you use your paypal account because it doesn't cost me as much), or you can mail a check/money order to me. If you would be interested in mailing a check/money order, send me an email, and I will send you an order form. You can then send it to me by mail.<br /><br />I have also decided to do a Release Party Concert. This will most likely take place this Spring/Summer in the Northern Utah/Davis County area. If there is any interest in a performance at another venue further South, I am open to it, upon request. <br /><br />Your feedback is always welcome.<br /><br />p.s.

I've been working this week on transcribing all of my song into a Print music program for download. It's long and tedious work. And I've got 3 of 12 songs done. Maybe I will send my hubby and kids away on a trip for Spring Break, and I'll stay home and get it all done.<br /><br />I'm hoping to have everything done, and put into a songbook to accompany the release of the CD. I will also have links on the website, where you can download sheet music for single songs. I'm still trying to work out the bugs on that. <br /><br />I'll let you know when that all get up and running.<br /><br />I will most likely be doing a Release Party giveaway when the CD and Songbook are finished. So, tell your friends to come over here and follow me!<br /><br />Just wanted to update you on what I'm doing this week.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664402843004978013.post-54918885393131042102009-03-18T21:59:00.003-06:002009-03-19T14:13:42.047-06:00Latest UpdateI'm still working on the cover. Hopefully it will be designed soon. The printing is actually all lined up, they are just waiting for me to send them a prototype.<br /><br />I'm also still waiting for copyrights to come back. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there aren't any hitches in that department.<br /><br />As many of you may know, I provided a song for my friend, author Annette Lyon to put on her trailer for her new book, Tower of Strength. Here's the video.<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/daBCwYdKIJc&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/daBCwYdKIJc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Since then, I was recently approached by another author. You may have heard of her, H.B. Moore. She asked me to also provide songs for trailers for two of her books.<br /><br />I'm really excited to be getting my music "out there!"<br /><br />Right now I'm working on getting everything transcribed, and within the next couple of weeks I will hopefully have a link on my website to download sheet music.<br /><br />I'll keep you posted as the process progresses.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664402843004978013.post-20153919736910333082009-02-24T18:06:00.003-07:002009-02-24T18:12:22.850-07:00Cover DesignI found a printing company today that will do all of my CD duplication, cover, insert, jewel case, and shrink wrap.<br /><br />Hooray!<br /><br />I just need to finalize my cover design, and my CD imprint design. <br /><br />Does anyone know anybody who does graphic design, and knows what the heck they're doing?

We are currently under constructions, but while we wait I'll share my bio with you!<br /><br />I'm pretty sure I was born loving music. I loved to perform from a very young age. At the age of 4 my parents put me in Sunshine Generation. I loved it! I still remember some of the songs I learned. At age 5, I started taking violin lessons. Finally, my mother started teaching me basic piano from the Suzuki method. At age 10, I finally started taking lessons from a "real" teacher. Within the first year of taking lessons, I passed my Mom up in ability. I instantly fell in love with the piano. In 7th grade I played 1st chair 1st violin in my school orchestra, but grew tired of being teased for having my violin on the bus, so I quit orchestra to join the choir. Again, I fell in love with choir music. Many years later, and 4 piano teachers later, I continued learning piano, and singing in school choirs. After high school, I started teaching piano to a few friends and family members. Again, I came to love teaching. I taught for 12 years, and just this last fall made the very difficult choice to quit teaching piano to care for my 3 little children. In the last few years, I have developed a deep interest and love for writing and arranging music. This has been my focus in music since I quit teaching. I have always had a deeply seeded passion for music, and the piano has become part of my soul. I am grateful for the blessing I have of the ability to play the piano, and express myself through music.<br /><br />My first album "Solitude" I initially recorded on my parents' grand piano, with my brother's amateur recording machine. I shared it with friends and family, and finally got up the nerve to start sending around to people in the LDS music business, including Kurt Bestor, Marvin Goldstein, and Greg Hansen.<br /><br />After some great advice from Greg Hansen, I went to Platinum Sound, and there, had a professional recording done of "Solitude" with a few minor changes. I added 3 new songs, and took out a couple of songs, that I'm saving for a future project. This album includes arrangements of hymns such as "Love at Home", "I am a Child of God", "Families Can Be Together Forever", "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing", "If You Could Hie to Kolob", and more. It also includes seven original songs, including the title track "Solitude".<br /><br />"Solitude" is still in the rough stages of production. It will be ready soon. In the mean time, you can hear a few of my songs, from the initial recording session <a href="http://mp3.com/artist/sherrie-shepherd">here at mp3.com</a><br />Soon, I will be putting my songs up on <a href="http://theneighborhoodjukebox.com/">Your LDS Neighborhood Jukebox.</a><br /><br />Soon you will be able to purchase the CD and/or songbook and sheet music from this site.<br /><br />Come back soon!Sherrie Shepherd Piano Musichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15746277452867292657noreply@blogger.com5
