Did you know the beautiful song, Silent Night was written in the tiny church of Arnsdorf in Austria? In fact, late one night the parish priest was stunned to find that the mice had eaten at taken a big bite out of the bellows on the organ. 

Both the organist and the priest were frustrated by the lack of music available for midnight Mass. Lucky for us, when the organist Franz Gruber heard the words written by this parish priest in 1818 the day before Christmas Eve, he set them to this lovely piece we've all come to know and love.

Do you remember taking piano lessons, and that one little cartoon or drawing on your music was so fun to look at? These days with amazing creative tools at our fingertips like Canva, you too can add graphics to your music. Now, if you like me and can't even draw a stick figure, then Canava is the way to go. (No joke, I can't draw...)

Here are a few examples of what I've created in Canva for my piano music in my Etsy Shop. 

I do use the paid version of Canva, but there is a free version that gives you incredible options. If you would like to try the version I use, here is a link for a 30-day free trial.
