Please scroll down the page for the sheet music PDF links.

If your skill level isn't there yet, try one of the lead sheets below.

 If that is a skill you haven't yet mastered, please check out the tips at my other website, Music-for-Music-Teachers, by scrolling down to the bottom of the page Mary Had a Little Lamb, or the page Free Lead Sheets.

These arrangements will work for church, and for recitals too.

Hi, I'm Dana!  (Say that like "Anna".)  I'm the owner of Music-for-Music-Teachers.com, and this  newer site,  SingTheBibleStory.com.

Like some of you, I've been playing the piano since early childhood, and have added a few other instruments along the way, plus an interest in arranging and composing music.

I also happen to love the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Christian worldview that portrays The Great War in the heavens, in which we here on earth are destined to be a part.
