Hello and welcome to Lester Le Roux Music!
At Lester Le Roux Music, every arrangement begins with a love for the piano and a deep respect for what music can express.
As a pianist and arranger, I aim to craft music that not only sounds beautiful, but also feels deeply meaningful to play — the kind of music that draws you in, stirs emotion, and creates moments of worship through sound.
My arrangements bring together classical craftsmanship and heartfelt spirituality — rich harmonies, lyrical phrasing, and the subtle nuances that make the piano truly sing.
Whether it’s a hymn, a timeless melody, or a piece of sacred reflection, my goal is to create piano music that inspires pianists to play with purpose — music that uplifts, comforts, and connects.
My Story
I studied piano performance at the University of Cape Town, where I earned an Honours degree. Over the past 20 years, I’ve taught music in schools and performed at hotels and events around the world.
Throughout my journey, I often found myself dissatisfied with the sheet music arrangements I purchased — they felt empty compared to the emotional fullness of great composers like Chopin. His masterful understanding of the piano's capabilities inspired me to approach arranging differently.
In my arrangements, I strive to capture that same richness and beauty, especially when reimagining classic hymns and popular songs. I hope these pieces fill a gap — offering harmonically rich, full-sounding piano music that feels as satisfying to play as it does to listen to.
