Welcome!
Welcome to my web site. My name is Scott Rollins and I am a musician based in Arnprior, Ontario.
I teach piano to local students and am currently looking for students. If you are interested, please visit the Piano Lessons section of this web site or contact me.
I am also available to play at weddings. Please contact me to confirm my availability for the date of your ceremony.
For those outside of the area, you're probably most interested in the compositions that I have included on this site, including psalm refrains for use in worship.
Piano Lessons
I teach piano lessons to beginning and experienced piano students, approximately 8 years of age and older, including adults.
Lessons are taught at Emmanuel Anglican Church, 287 Harrington Street, one block from Walter Zadow Public School in Arnprior.
With beginning piano students, I use the Celebrate Piano! series of books, leading to Royal Conservatory study. For adult beginners, I usually use Alfred's Basic All-in-One Adult Piano Course. For those who have studied with another teacher, I will usually work with your current book until you have completed it.

I am the organist and choir director at Emmanuel Anglican Church in Arnprior, Ontario. Prior to accepting this position, I served as organist and choir director at Grace-St. Andrew's United Church for five years. Before that, I played the organ in a number of parishes in the Anglican Dioceses of Ontario, Moosonee, and Ottawa.
As well as my work at Emmanuel, I am available for weddings at other local churches.

Over more than a decade, I've accumulated experience as an accompanist for choirs and singers in rehearsals, concerts, recitals, music festivals, and examinations. I currently serve as the accompanist for the Arnprior Community Choir, a position I first held in 1994. I also served as the rehearsal accompanist for the Valley Festival Chorus for a number of years.
As an accompanist for singers, I have participated in local recitals, music festivals in Renfrew and Pembroke, and a variety of audition situations (from elementary school musicals to university admissions and jury situations).

I have written a variety of music for use in worship, most of which is available for download from this web site for congregations to sing.
My current project is to write psalm refrains to match each Sunday's psalms in the Revised Common Lectionary.
In 2005, the Arnprior Community Choir commissioned three SAB anthems from me for their annual Sing Noel concert.
