Starting as a small river, the joyful sound and melody of each note mingle together in harmony and steadily build in volume until the river becomes a majestic cascading waterfall. (sheet music available at jonschmidt.com)

Pachelbel meets U2 Pachelbel meets U2
Goofing around with the famous Pachelbel Canon and a U2 beat, a crowd pleaser of song was derived. (Note: Due to copyright issues only a portion of this song (Pachelbel Canon) is in this MP3. To purchase entire song visit jonschmidt.com).

All of Me All of Me
It's called "All of Me" because I put my all into it when I play it and because the big repeated chord at the climax is achieved by using my entire right forearm on the black keys.

Rush Hour on the Escalante Rush Hour on the Escalante
This song tries to portray the amazing combination of amazement and total peace that you get as you float through the towering red walls of Escalante arm of Lake Powell.

This song reminds me of the gentle drama of watching the sunrise and of new beginnings.

This adrenaline filled song is dedicated to all rock climbers and anyone else who has conquered a monumental task.

With this song you have to imagine that perfect ‘first run’ of the season; whether skiing, snowboarding, water-skiing, rowing, or whatever your sport of choice might be.

Sometimes when I see my little girl twirling in the leaves or playing dress-ups in the mirror, I imagine a time in the future watching her shine in a piano or dance performance.

This song has a similar base line as Bach's "Air on the G String" but was conceived in a completely random way.

Tribute (Rose-Anne's Song) Tribute (Rose-Anne's Song)

A fun and inspirational tune with a message to match.
