Pity, indeed.

I am a vocal instructor who SOOO!!! appreciates your free resources–sheet music, transposers, tracks–all of it. Finding sacred music that is also sacredly composed and arranged is a regular challenge. Thank you for all the variety, too. This gives my students the opportunity to find something that fits their voice, personality, interest, etc.

May God continue to inspire with new music for His glory!

Choral Director and Vocal Instructor

I have sung so many of your songs as my weekly solo at my church services and other events ( they love your music), but this is the first time( I am ashamed to say) I have read your oldest archive. I always wondered why you have been so benevolent with your music, yet always assumed that you felt you were instructed to do so from our “Higher Power”, especially when I asked how to pay you and you stated, there was no payment and just support the products on your site. Seeing your story put into your words really touched my heart, was nice to read , and glad you are in a position to continue this site. God definitely had his plan for you and you fulfilled it wonderfully, as expected. Your music is so beautifully written and the content so appropriate for whatever our lesson of the week may be; or whatever our needs may be. At anytime, we can find one of your wonderful compositions to carry us through. We musicians, choirs, congregations, and listeners are so blessed that you/your music has come into so many of our lives. You have helped so many people with your words and melodies by healing and helping others to heal, praise, spread the gospel and love, and allowing all of us to become better followers of Christ and God’s word. I humbly thank you. We all thank you. God’s LOVE will surround you always.
Peace and love to you always.

I have sang several of your songs in church services and have always felt the presence of the Lord with me. Your music has touched me and I strive to make it touch the congregations. Thank God for your talent and Thank You for sharing it.

I just want to say your willingness, to share is truly inspirational. I have always felt the same way, I may not have your musical talent, but I can play a little and sing a little, and the joy music gives me the power to bring me to my Savior like no other way… I would truly feel ungrateful if I did not play in primary, and stumble through sacrament hymns on the organ, and sing in the choir. I was even a choir director for a short time. I love your music…Thanks for sharing!
