The hymns in this book include brackets that suggest a suitable introduction for each hymn. Both the booklet and recordings are available through Church distribution centers. Listening to these recordings may also be useful to the developing pianist. These same 60 hymns are also recorded on cassettes (52427) and compact discs (50080). For this reason, Hymns Made Easy will be especially useful for accompanying congregations or other groups using These same 60 hymns, in the same form in which they appear in the standard hymnbook, are also found in the Selected Hymns booklet (34160). A congregation can sing from the hymnbooks while the pianist plays these simplified hymns, despite occasional differences in harmony and key. These arrangements are designed not only to help students develop their skill but also to accompany hymn singing in Church meetings.

These hymn arrangements provide an intermediate step between easier hymn arrangements in the Keyboard Course manual and more challenging arrangements in Hymns: Simplified Accompaniments (80357) and in the standard hymnbook (31243). Some of the hymns have been transposed into keys with fewer sharps or flats to make them easier to read and easier to play. The hymns are written in two or three parts or voices, rather than the usual four.

I encourage you to find some great arrangements, here or at one of the other sources, for your congregation. As always, be careful that you select a key among the choices that is in a good melodic range for the congregation. One of those sources,, recently provided a list of 50 contemporary hymn arrangements with familiar melodies and lyrics rooted in the deep history of our faith. I previously wrote about several great sources for contemporary hymn arrangements.
