"Jason, you don't realize how big of a need there is for this level of music!
This is great for kids, but you will be shocked at how many adults will LOVE this book of easier hymns. This is exactly what we've needed as piano teachers for years!"
Bonnie Slaughter - Piano Teacher
More About The Book:
It was created for anyone who is just starting to be able to play easier hymns from a hymn book.
If there is an extra high or low note... or tricky fingering... we've written it in for you.
I've included various simple finger patterns to help learn to improvise and progress to more advanced music.
Each of the songs can be performed for worship services and streamed for online worship services.
All songs are 100+ year old Christian Public Domain hymns...
We searched out our favorite classic melodies from all denominations.
We included side notes at the top of each song with background about the composer, a story about the music, or when it was written. Our hope is that you'll be able to connect with the music.
My hope is that it will allow the piano student to progress and be successful at the
piano but most important of all... enjoy the music they play!
We hope it will give you the confidence to play your music for others... to share a musical
number in a church service... or just enjoy the spirit good music can bring.

"Thank you—I appreciate your willingness and encouragement to make your arrangements our own. I enjoy playing them easily as written, but usually add to the harmony parts --within what you’ve written— when I perform.
Having your arrangements simpler also allows your music to be played by more pianists. I’ve introduced your songs to several pianists of varying skill levels, and they all enjoy your music."

"One year when I was at a piano teacher conference, I had 7 teachers tell me the same thing in one day at different times. They told me that they used my music to introduce their students who were starting to play from a hymn book to harder arrangements and as a stepping stone to Jon Schmidt's (The Piano Guys) music that their kids were all asking to play.
I didn't realize that when I had done the arrangements to make it easy for me to play a musical number without tons of practice, that it would be something that would benefit so many people."

Wondering What Level the Music is?
Here are a few samples to check out. Most are in the Key of C with a few in F and G (One Sharp or Flat).
A few more comments from people who have enjoyed the music.
"Several years ago while I was on vacation out in Utah (I live in Oklahoma City, OK), my niece introduced me to your arrangement of Come Thou Fount. It was so beautiful!
I came home and bought all your books of hymn arrangements. I love your arrangements so much that I play them for musical numbers in church, preludes, baptisms, etc.
Anytime and anywhere I am playing hymn arrangements. I always get so many compliments and comments about your songs."
