Welcome to the January 2007 edition of my music newsletter! Happy
New Year!
2006 was my second year in business as Peace of Heaven Music! It
wasn't quite as good a year as 2005... financially speaking that is.
CD sales were slightly lower, probably due to the rush of "Advent"
sales last Christmas. I didn't do as much performing in 2006. I
also didn't have any piano students. I did however do some
consulting, and my studio income was higher. Expenses were higher
in 2006 too, especially because I upgraded several things in my
studio, including a new computer, a new microphone, and new
software.
But it was great to be, yet another year, doing what I truly love...
music!
"Peace of Heaven" sales have been going pretty well. The CD is
available for $15.00. You can purchase it online from my website
(SolomonKeal.com) as well as from FountainPublishing.com. You can
also order it directly from me by sending me an email. Also check
your local New Church bookstore. You can now download individual
tracks from "Peace of Heaven" off of iTunes for $0.99 per track.
Kathy Parsons of Solo Piano Publications has written a nice review of
"Peace of Heaven," which you can read here:

I now have a new website devoted to the services that I provide! If
you have any questions about my booking rates, recording studio
rates, music licensing rates, piano lesson rates, commission rates,
consulting rates, or CD prices, go to
http://peaceofheavenmusic.blogspot.com.
Speaking of CD prices, here is my latest deal (I know I keep changing
the details on you):
As a subscriber to this newsletter, when you order 1 or 2 CDs
directly from me (at $15.00 a piece), you get Free Shipping. When
you order 3 or more CDs directly from me, you get CDs for $11.00 a
piece, plus shipping. Just send me an email to take advantage of
this deal.
My priorities for 2007 are:
1. Make sheet music available for my music.
(A majority of the emails I've received lately have been a request
for this. So it will happen this year!)
Speaking of sheet music, if any of you have specific requests for
which pieces you would like in sheet music form, please let me know.
I will work on requests first.
2. Work on another album.
(This could be any number of album concepts including: a flute and
piano album with my sister, another Christmas album with voices and
other instruments, an album of love songs with my wife, a blues and
jazz piano album... we'll see which one wins out.)
3. I'm working on scoring a documentary for Glencairn Museum.
4. I will be writing and illustrating my first book this year, which
is a new area for me; not music, but definitely still creative.
So it looks like I have another full year ahead of me!
As always, don't forget to check out Whisperings Solo Piano Radio
(http://www.solopianoradio.com) where my music is being played.
I hope you all have a wonderful 2007!
