What’s new?

News. Updates. All the fun.

April 30, 2022 | NEW RELEASE: Jesus at the Temple. Sheet music HERE. I love the temple and have always looked forward to the fulfillment of the scripture in Malachi 3:1 about Jesus coming to His temple. This piece has 6 verses all about Jesus at the temple, from Mary and Joseph presenting him as an infant to His long-anticipated appearance at His Second Coming. A beautifully simple yet powerful song about Jesus and His temple experiences and appearances. Backed with scripture references, this piece will be a joy to sing and study. Use as an outline for family or individual study. I hope you enjoy singing it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it. #Jesusatthetemple #JesusChrist #temples

September 28, 2021 | download HERE | Joshua’s Waltz sheet is now available! Use the hashtag #joshuaswaltz and help me spread the joy and healing that comes through this beautiful message. Oh, and I also did a Facebook Live on Sunday, September 26. Alllll the backstory in one place. I lay out all the details and include a bit of the composing side, too.

August 20, 2021 | Joshua's Waltz in Frankfurt, Germany. We were in Frankfurt for the afternoon and had just finished lunch when I heard it: piano music. A pianist in the pedestrian zones or Fußgängerzone is rare and I had to find out who was playing. Dmitry Horbach @dzmi_piano had the crowd mesmerized and immediately I wanted to also share in the moment. I asked to play and he said yes! I dropped everything, handed Zach my phone and asked him to record. The spontaneity, the energy, the music. What unfolded was one of the top highlights of my living in Europe. #joshuaswaltz #frankfurtstreetperformer #frankfurtpianist #frankfurtpedestrianzone

April 4, 2021 | Come As You Are by Louis Herrey. This song is so special to me. I wrote it for anyone who struggles to know that you are loved infinitely right now, exactly how you are, by One who is the source of all perfect peace: Jesus Christ. We just need to come, scars and all, and He will meet us where we are. Louis lives in Sweden and we have only met through Zoom. He is our Seminary and Institute director and just an all-around great person. Isn’t technology amazing for making collaborations like this possible? Thanks, Louis, for sharing. Well done, my friend. Sheet music and minus track here.

December 18, 2020 | Home with You for Christmas will be going live 12.19.20 7:00pm MST. This new original song features Emma Murdock, an amazing vocalist. At only 15, she will blow you away with her talent. When I first heard her demo, I had chills and tears filled my eyes. She took my creative endeavor and did something I never could have done. It was absolutely magical. #homewithyouforChristmas #hwyfc

This song has been my dear friend since October when I began writing it. More to come about the backstory and how it came to life. Tune into my YouTube channel for all the details. I can’t wait to share it with you.

November 19, 2020 | Lately I’ve been pouring my heart into creating a special Christmas gift. The song is written with a special someone in mind, but the message is universal: being home for Christmas. Okay, I can’t say anymore. Shhhhhh. #homewithyouforChristmas

June 24, 2020 | Official Instagram account: @valarieolsonmusic. For years I’ve had my personal insta account, @ovalarieo, where I’ve posted the typical vacations, birthday celebrations and obligatory first day of school pics…and more. ; ) Out of respect for my family, I have kept it private. Recently I began sharing more and more about my music, and the excitement began to build. When one of my longtime friends said she’d love to share a post but couldn’t because my account was private, I knew it was time to be all in. @valarieolsonmusic. #instagram #valarieolsonmusicinstagram
