Thank you for visiting my website.
Playing the piano and writing original compositions were my childhood passions.
For more than 40 years I was away from music while I pursued a career and helped raise a family, both of these in partnership with my wife. Now I have returned to my first love of music and started composing again. This website, and the music tracks and videos on it, are the result.
To hear them, or to see me performing them, visit the Music page on this website, where you may also download the audio tracks. Soon I hope to have my pieces available on Spotify, iTunes and other streaming services.
To learn and play these pieces yourself, or to use them for teaching, you may download the sheet music. Please go to the Store page.
There is no fixed fee to download either tracks or sheet music, but you have the option to make a payment if you choose to. Any contribution is appreciated.
Come back soon! I hope to add more music regularly.
And I would love to hear from you. Email me at stuart@stuartsmelodies.com. By registering below, you will receive notices when new music is added.
I hope you enjoy my pieces and will share them with your friends.
Click on the image at left to hear a clip from my composition, "Idyll Journey."
I filmed this video while taking a walk one day. The leaf, suspended in mid-air, spun continuously in the light wind without falling to the ground. I walked around it, amazed by its seeming defiance of the laws of nature. Perhaps it was attached by a spider web thread to an unseen branch far above?
I think of this almost mystical experience when I play my piece "Idyll Journey." Click here to hear the entire song: /music
