Description
Simplified Piano Hymn Arrangements
Donna R. Wangsgard
Hymns of All Faiths contains 38 simplified arrangements of well-known hymns, drawn from hymnals of various churches. They’re typically presented with a two- or three-note chord in the left hand, with the right hand playing a one-note melody line. Written chord names are printed below the various chords, finger numbers are provided, and measure numbers are furnished to facilitate practice and instructions provided by piano teachers. All the hymns are written in the keys of C, F, or G, so the book provides an excellent opportunity for growth by beginning students who are in the beginning stages of learning basic chords and harmonies. This book can provide hours of enjoyment and musical growth for piano students and blossoming musicians. (Performance level: similar to book 2 of the John Thompson series books 1-5; Bastien Piano Basics, book 4; Alfred’s Basic Piano Library, books 5 & 6)
