I create Piano Covers - often with a Classical twist.
I love making music for you guys and am open to requests!
I love to mashup a popular love song with a beautiful piece of classical music to create a Wedding Version - designed with your special day in mind. Ed Sheeran with Pachelbel or Elvis with Bach for example :-)
It's not all about me though - it makes me really happy to know that you guys are playing and learning my arrangements.. Sheet Music is available and there are links in the descriptions. My music is also available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Deezer, Youtube Music and Amazon Music.
I'm an Australian living in Berlin - I studied classical piano and I still love Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert and all those guys but now I enjoy composing and arranging my own music. Check out "Echoes of a Winter Journey" if you're interested to hear what my own music sounds like.
I love to read your comments and do my best to reply to everyone. Your kindness often makes my day.

They used my piano cover of "Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered" as the background music in this scene! So excited! I love 9-1-1 haha!

This French Christmas song tells of a young boy, no shoes on his feet, out in the wind and snow … the joy and light of Christmas is behind the windows of the houses he passes. It is not for him. This is “Christmas of the Street” - performed by my friend @katharinemehrlingberlin (and me on piano) … we hope for more joy, more light and most of all more peace.

Did you watch Succession on HBO? The soundtrack by Nicholas Britell is so brilliant - have a listen to my arrangement of the music from the final ever scene of the series! Sheet Music is available too.

I always feel moved when somebody posts a video in which they play one of my arrangements. It not only means that they purchased the sheet music and support my work. It means that they spent time learning and practicing my arrangement ... it's really humbling! @laramasonpiano has played a few of my arrangements over the past few years - and always gives me credit - so Lara I'm sharing your video to say "Happy Easter and thank you for supporting and promoting my work". You play so beautifully - I love how you slowed the tempo on this one and play with such a gentle touch. You've made my day!

As we approach 1 year of the war in Ukraine and with so much suffering and conflict in the world - John Lennon's message is perhaps more poignant and important than ever. Let's be kind to one another and work toward being as one. Please share.

Happy Valentine's Day everybody! I can't send you all roses and chocolates sadly ... but I can share my new wedding version of my favourite song of recent times ... Golden Hour by @JVKE ... This song is so lush yet elegant at the same time... I wanted to make this version gently shimmer and shine ... so whether you're walking down the aisle soon or just walking to the kitchen to get more snacks 'cause you're alone on Valentine's Day ... please share this with someone you love... and leave a comment if you like it - it really does make a difference! I appreciate you!

Have you heard the new Lady Gaga single, HOLD MY HAND from the TOP GUN: MAVERICK soundtrack? Please have a listen to my new Wedding Version of this really emotional song - and leave a comment - I miss you guys :-) Are you getting notifications of my new videos? All of my recent uploads have had really low engagement and I'm not sure what's going on ... is it me? Is it you? Is it YouTube? <3
