Hello.. These are some exceptional arrangements, Anne Ku. Thank you graciously for making them readily available. I was perusing the internets, looking for piano sheet music from Inception. I stumbled onto your arrangement and was immediately delighted by the quality. As such, I felt the need to seek out more of your arrangements. Overall very pleased. Thanks again.
Thank you, Sravan.
Hello, Sravan: Once my group piano class in Zoom takes off, I will be creating more arrangements though I may not necessarily publish them. My students get these arrangements. https://concertblog.wordpress.com/2021/06/07/group-piano-class-in-zoom/
Mahalo e Anne Ku! For your easy piano arrangements…In my retirement, i have returned to playing piano, but having rheumatoid arthritis, it’s become difficult. But your arrangements are just awesome for one with limited finger mobility…Mahalo so much!
Hello Gwen, thanks for your compliments. I hope you are still enjoying playing the piano. By request, I am offering a group piano class online. https://concertblog.wordpress.com/2021/06/07/group-piano-class-in-zoom/
