Amanda Vernon: soulful Pop artist, wife and mother

September 3, 2014 - 2:37am — Richard Schletty

Wow. I heard the song Valentine today on Catholic Music Express streaming radio. Amanda Vernon is really sounding good here. Amanda is a recording artist from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Through a genre she calls, “soulful pop,” this singer, pianist, and composer speaks to authentic beauty through music, the language of the soul. Visit Amanda's website.

"Valentine," by Amanda Vernon - www.amandavernon.com
Produced by David C. Smith at ICON Studio Productions
Based on the true story, "Beautiful Valentine," by Wendy Mathison

"To kick off this first weekend of 2014, eightWest welcomed a musician who does it all. She sings, plays piano, writes music and is a dedicated mom."
- WOOD TV, eightWest (Jan 7, 2014)

"With an irresistible personality and shining demeanor, Amanda Vernon seems to infect everyone she meets with an upbeat glow."
- John Sinkevics, Local Spins 1340 AM WJRW (Oct 3, 2013)

I am Catholic and a piano teacher. The Catholic Church has the most beautiful treasury of hymns. I want my students to study hymns. Also, I want to memorize the words of some of the hymns that are in Latin and having access to the sheet music will help with that. Thank you.

I have been a minister of music for almost 40 years, and I am, primarily, an ear-trained pianist/composer. I am hoping that, becoming a member, I will be able to find sheet music (mostly, lead sheets, if available), that also contain the guitar chords, as I, typically, see them, and then, improvise, accordingly.

I am a resident organist and singer, also training choirs. I very much would appreciate learning more contemporary music to help integrate a wider and more diverse congregation. Thank you.

Need to replace copyrighted music on my YouTube Rosary channel (https://www.youtube.com/@mryan510) to stop the constant interruptions with ads. Perusing your site affords me with plenty of ad free solutions. I hope to donate to your site when I make my selections.
