• Where can I download sheet music?

Most of my transcriptions are available on Musicnotes. If you are looking for a particular arrangement, send me a message through social media/email and I’ll publish that song next. Some songs take longer to publish due to the licensing process.

As for originals, they’re available on Gumroad. I’m still in the process of transcribing all my original sheet music, but I upload those to my site as soon as I complete them. With your purchase of originals, you will also receive the MIDI file for the song with 2 separate tracks for the left and right hand. This is perfect for Synthesia music learners!

Songbooks are a new addition to my store. The songbooks I have available are for originals, for now. Perhaps one day, I can make an anime or a Disney songbook. I’m currently working out a way to publish physical books, but for now, I do have a digital version of “Seaside” available. The songbook for Storybook Melodies will become available along with the release of the album.

• Who are your influences on the piano?

I have many, but to name my main influences:

George Winston, Jim Brickman, and Kyle Landry.

• Can I submit a request?

Yes! If you wish to request a song, follow me on social media and message me there! You can request anything you’d like, whether it be Disney or Anime, I’ll do my best to fulfill your request to the best of my ability. Submitting a request through social media or email is the best way to make sure I read your request.

• I found an arrangement of yours on sacredsheetmusic.org. Can I play your arrangement for a church performance?

Absolutely! All arrangements on that site are available for free and I allow anyone to use my arrangements for non-commercial use.

• Can I use your work in a YouTube video or another site?

Please message me before using my work; I love seeing what other people use my covers for, but you also need my approval before uploading anything. If you wish to use my work for a YouTube video or something related, you need to do these things:

1. Contact me and let me know what you plan on using the song for.
2. Make sure the credit for the song you used is given to me in the video description.

I typically get questions about using my covers as an accompaniment, or someone wants to use my covers in a Twitch stream. This is 100% okay to do as long as you give proper credit.

If you are interested in having me compose new music, using a composition of mine, or even having me arrange a cover song for a project, feel free to contact me.

• What instruments do you use?

Throughout the years, I’ve used the Casio Privia PX 150, Yamaha CP-33, Yamaha P-120, Yamaha P-155, Yamaha CP-88, Kawai MP-11, Roland FA-08, Nord C2D (for pipe organ sounds). Most of the Yamaha keyboards I’ve listed are now discontinued, but eBay is a good place to look if you’re looking for older instruments.

As of 2021, the instruments I use for recording are the Yamaha CP-88, and Nord C2D. The audio interface I use is the Scarlett Focusrite 2i4.

To give you an example, the piano sample you hear in Anime Music Collection, Volume 10 was recorded using the Yamaha P-155, whereas the piano sample you hear in Volume 11 was recorded using the Kawai MP-11. And Video Game Music Collection, Volume 3 was recorded using the Yamaha CP-88.

• What keyboard would you recommend?

Personally, I love the Yamaha brand but I’ve owned Casio, Kawai, and Roland digital pianos as well. Compared to these brands, Yamaha is my number one choice. Most of what you hear in YouTube videos and on Spotify was recorded using a Yamaha keyboard.

If you have a larger budget and want something that sounds and feels even better, you should take a look at Yamaha’s CP Stage Pianos or Kawai’s MP Stage Pianos, I would even consider getting an acoustic piano if you have the space. I can tell you that the Kawai MP-11 definitely has the most realistic feel of any other keyboard I’ve ever owned, but I do like the sound of the Yamaha CP-88 more than the MP-11. Both are fantastic instruments!

The bottom line, everyone has different preferences in what they like and there is a huge selection of keyboard brands. What you really should do is find a keyboard online that sparks your interest and then find a YouTube video reviewing that particular keyboard. If you like the sound, go to a music store and see how it feels when you play it.

• What computer programs do you use to record and write sheet music?

Logic Pro X, iMovie, Finale, and Synthesia.

I use Logic Pro X to master tracks so it sounds like what you hear in the albums. I also use this application to export all the MIDI files. For the YouTube videos, I don’t use any fancy programs. I simply use the footage and put them together in iMovie (the app that comes already installed on the iMac). For transcribing the sheet music, I use a program called Finale. Works very well for me and has for many years. I use Synthesia to record piano tutorials and post those on YouTube.

• What camera do you use?

Since 2015 or 2016, I’ve been using the GoPro HERO4 Silver.

As of 2023, I now use the built-in camera on the iPhone.
