Christmas Arrangements by Debra Wanless

I was playing through the book Twelve Songs of Christmas the other day and thought the arrangements were so lovely I had to share them. This book features twelve intermediate to advancing jazz solos, compiled and arranged by Debra Wanless. I only had time to record seven of them since I am so busy getting ready for the holidays! But I think you get a good feel for the modern and appealing arrangements in this fun book. It would make a great addition to any Christmas music book collection. Hope you enjoy my videos!

Canada Music Week 2014

Our Canada Music Week recital on Friday November 21st was a complete success! We had about twenty students performing works by Canadian composers (including local composer Debra Wanless) and a fabulous audience turnout. After the performance we had a draw for two paintings that were generously donated by composer Rémi Bouchard. The reception was a hit as always, due to the enormous celebratory cake and take-home Canadian souvenirs. We got to hear a great variety of Canadian music, and I think everyone in attendance enjoyed themselves and learned something new.
